The NFL offseason is where dreams are sold, and caution is often thrown to the wind. Every fanbase convinces itself that its team made every decision perfectly—until the games start and reality sets in.
With training camps just around the corner, some teams are already showing signs of buyer’s remorse. Whether it’s a questionable trade, a puzzling signing, or just straight-up neglect, here are 12 franchises that might be rethinking their 2025-2026 offseason moves.
12. Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars made a bold move by trading up for Travis Hunter, betting big on his elite athleticism and two-way potential. But for a team that still has plenty of holes, the price tag might look a little painful if he doesn’t pan out quickly.
11. Las Vegas Raiders
The Raiders went all-in on Geno Smith despite his brutal 2024 campaign in Seattle. Banking on a 34-year-old QB who just went winless isn’t exactly a recipe for fan confidence.
10. Chicago Bears
The Bears crushed most of the offseason, except at running back. Waiting until late Day 3 to grab a back left them thin behind D’Andre Swift, and that could sting if injuries hit.
9. Detroit Lions
Aidan Hutchinson is recovering from a serious injury, and Detroit’s response was a shrug. If he’s not himself, this defense might be in serious trouble.
8. Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings let Camryn Bynum walk and didn’t exactly sprint to replace him. In a division full of passing threats, that light secondary could get exposed in a hurry.
7. Green Bay Packers
Green Bay lost edge rush help, and just kind of hoped things would work out. That’s a bold strategy in a division with plenty of quarterback firepower.
6. Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers signed Donte Jackson, hoping he still has some juice left in the tank. Unfortunately, that tank appears to have been running on fumes for a while now.
5. Dallas Cowboys
Dallas jumped the gun by signing Javonte Williams, only to see other, cheaper options emerge shortly after. For a team that needs to be smarter with cap space, this felt more impulsive than intentional.
4. Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers’ quarterback room turned into a game of musical chairs—and then the music stopped. Now they’re hoping Aaron Rodgers shows up and plays nice, which feels like a risky wish at best.
3. Atlanta Falcons
Atlanta gave up a future first-rounder to get James Pearce, which is quite the flex after already spending big on Jalon Walker. If Pearce doesn’t hit quickly, that gamble could haunt them for years.

2. Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs are trusting Jaylon Moore to protect Patrick Mahomes’ blind side, which is brave considering Moore’s thin résumé. After watching Mahomes take a beating in the Super Bowl, this feels like a gamble that could go sideways.

1. Tennessee Titans
The Titans handed Dan Moore Jr. a massive contract, hoping he can be something he’s never really been. If he doesn’t level up soon, that deal could be weighing down their cap situation for a while.
