Breaking down the Browns’ 14 opponents in the 2025 season | Schedule Release

Baltimore Ravens

Additions: CB Chidobe Awuzie, WR DeAndre Hopkins, LB Jake Hummel, QB Cooper Rush, T Joseph Noteboom

Losses: LB Chris Board, LB Malik Harrison, WR Diontae Johnson, QB Josh Johnson, T Josh Jones, OL Patrick Mekari, WR Steven Sims, CB Brandon Stephens, LB Kristian Welch, CB Tre’Davious White

Draft Class: S Malaki Starks, OLB Mike Green, OT Emery Jones Jr., LB Teddye Buchanan, OT Carson Vinson, CB Bilhal Kone, K Tyler Loop, WR LaJohntay Wester, DL Aeneas Peebles, CB Robert Longerbeam, OL Garrett Dellinger

Analysis: The Ravens added depth to their roster during free agency, adding Awuzie as a cornerback option, Hopkins as another pass catcher for QB Lamar Jackson and Rush as a backup for Jackson. They also retained a handful of key players like OT Ronnie Stanley, who was considered the top left tackle available in free agency, and FB Patrick Ricard. Then in the draft, they added more depth to the secondary with Starks, as well as added depth to the offensive line with Jones.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Additions: S Juan Thornhill, CB Brandin Echols, QB Mason Rudolph, CB Darius Slay Jr., RB Kenneth Gainwell, LB Malik Harrison, TE Donald Parham Jr.

Losses: QB Justin Fields, QB Russell Wilson, WR Mike Williams, WR Van Jefferson, RB Najee Harris, G James Daniels, OL Nate Herbig, CB Donte Jackson, LB Elandon Roberts, QB Kyle Allen, OT Dan Moore Jr.

Draft Class: DT Derrick Harmon, RB Kaleb Johnson, LB Jack Sawyer, DT Yahya Black, QB Will Howard, LB Carson Bruener, CB Donte Kent

Analysis: The Steelers went through quarterback changes in the offseason, losing both Fields and Wilson. They brough in Rudolph and drafted Howard to help build out their quarterback room and will be one of the biggest questions surrounding the Steelers through the remainder of the offseason. They added depth at different positions on both sides of the ball and addressed needs with the addition of Gainwell to the running back room.

Tennessee Titans

Additions: WR Tyler Lockett, QB Tim Boyle, WR James Proche II, K Joey Slye, OLB Lorenzo Carter, S Xavier Woods, WR Van Jefferson, DL/OLB Dre’Mont Jones, QB Brandon Allen, G Kevin Zeitler, LB Cody Barton, LT Dan Moore Jr., P Johnny Hekker, OL Blake Hance

Losses: Edge Harold Landry, CB Chidobe Awuzie, LB Jerome Baker, LB Kenneth Murray, QB Mason Rudolph, WR Nick Westbook-Ikhine, RT Dillon Radunz, LB Luke Gifford, LB Jack Gibbens, P Ryan Stonehouse

Draft Class: QB Cam Ward, Edge Oluwafemi Oladejo, S Kevin Winston Jr., WR Chimere Dike, TE Gunnar Helm, WR Elic Ayomanor, G Jackson Slater, CB Marcus Harris, RB Kalel Mulllings

Analysis: The Titans landed the top quarterback prospect with the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, adding Ward to their quarterback room that features Will Levis and free agent additions in Boyle and Allen. They also added key players to revamp their offensive line in Zeitler and Moore – with Moore sliding in at left tackle to serve as the blindside protector of their quarterback.

Minnesota Vikings

Additions: WR Rondale Moore, CB Jeff Okudah, WR Tim Jones, LB Eric Wilson, T Justin Skule, S Harrison Smith, DL Javon Hargave, C Ryan Kelly, G Will Fries, CB Isaiah Rodgers, DB Tavierre Thomas, DL Jonathan Allen, CB Byron Murphy Jr., RB Aaron Jones Sr., P Ryan Wright, S Theo Jackson, S Bubba Bolden, RB Jordan Mason

Losses: S Camryn Bynum, QB Sam Darnold, QB Daniel Jones, OLB Pat Jones II, QB Nick Mullens, TE Jonny Mundt, WR Trent Sherfield, DL Jerry Tillery

Draft Class: OL Donovan Jackson, WR Tai Felton, DL Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, LB Kobe King, TE Gavin Bartholomew

Analysis: The Vikings extended OLB Andrew Van Ginkel, who demonstrated in his first season with Minnesota how he can be an integral part of their defense. One of the biggest changes to the Vikings this offseason is in the quarterback room, with Darnold departing for the Seahawks. With QB J.J. McCarthy stepping into his role, the Vikings added pieces to surround him, as well as bolstered their defense at all three levels.

San Francisco 49ers

Additions: CB Siran Neal, QB Mac Jones, TE Luke Farrell, WR Demarcus Robinson, CB Tre Brown, LB Luke Gifford, S Richie Grant, S Jason Pinnock, LS Jon Weeks

Losses: QB Brandon Allen, OL Aaron Banks, QB Joshua Dobbs, OL Jon Feliciano, LB Dre Greenlaw, DL Javon Hargave, OL Charlie Heck, S Talanoa Hufanga, CB Nick McCloud, RB Elijah Mitchell, OL Jaylon Moore, TE Eric Saubert, CB Charvarius Ward, CB Isaac Yiadom, CB Rock Ya-Sin, RB Jordan Mason

Draft Class: DL Mykel Wiliams, DL Alfred Collins, LB Nick Martin, CB Upton Stout, DL C.J. West, WR Jordan Watkins, RB Jordan James, S Marques Sigle, QB Kurtis Rourke, OL Connor Colby, WR Junior Bergen

Analysis: The 49ers added depth to different roster positions in the offseason, particularly at safety with Grant and Pinnock. They also found a No. 2 option at tight end with Farrell behind TE George Kittle, who can bring his blocking ability to the offense. They also added a backup option to QB Brock Purdy with Jones, especially with Dobbs and Allen signing elsewhere.
