Five NFL games we can’t wait to watch in the 2025 season<\/p>\n

The NFL schedule for the 2025-2026 season has been released. Here are a few games on our must-watch list.<\/p>\n

The major transactional portion of the 2025 NFL offseason has come and gone, with many top-tier talents getting lucrative, long-term extensions that have shaken up the league’s financial pecking order.<\/p>\n

The late-spring and early-summer months will likely feature a handful more big-money signings as NFL teams look to lock up their top talents for the foreseeable future. The most recent example was the San Francisco 49ers<\/a>‘ signing of Brock Purdy<\/a> to a five-year, $265 million deal<\/a> that will move him from the bottom of the NFL’s quarterback salary rankings<\/a> to near the top.<\/p>\n

Still to come are potential deals for star Dallas Cowboys<\/a> edge rusher Micah Parsons<\/a>, Cincinnati Bengals<\/a> edge rusher Trey Hendrickson<\/a>, New York Jets<\/a> cornerback Sauce Gardner<\/a> and Washington Commanders<\/a> receiver Terry McLaurin<\/a>, among others.<\/p>\n

For now, here’s a look at the NFL’s highest-paid players for 2025.<\/p>\n
