As the 2025 NFL free agency period unfolds, several key developments have captured the attention of football fans.

### Quarterback Moves
The quarterback market has seen significant activity. The Las Vegas Raiders made a surprising move by trading for Geno Smith, prompting the Seattle Seahawks to agree to terms with Sam Darnold during the legal tampering period. The New York Jets also secured Justin Fields, leaving teams like the Giants, Steelers, Browns, Vikings, Colts, and Titans still in the market for a quarterback. Notably, Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson remain available[1].

### Team Roster Changes
The Tennessee Titans have made notable moves to strengthen their offensive line. They signed tackle Dan Moore, who despite allowing 12 sacks last season, is seen as an upgrade given the context of blocking for heavily sacked quarterbacks like Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. The Titans also added guard Kevin Zeitler, known for his durability and high-level performance. These moves suggest the Titans might be positioning themselves to draft quarterback Cam Ward with the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, rather than relying on Will Levis or other current options[3].

### Other Notable Signings and Extensions
In other roster news, the Philadelphia Eagles extended the contract of right tackle Lane Johnson through 2027, adding $30 million in guarantees. This move secures a key position for the Eagles[4].

### Free Agency Tracker
The legal tampering period, which began on Monday, has seen a flurry of agreements, although contracts cannot be officially signed until Wednesday. CBS Sports is tracking the top 100 NFL free agents, with many top names already off the market. The free agency period is expected to continue with rapid signings, trades, and extensions[1].

### Draft Implications
The Titans' moves on the offensive line may hint at their draft strategy. With no reported visits from top quarterbacks and significant upgrades to their line, the Titans seem to be preparing for the possibility of drafting Cam Ward. However, they could still consider other elite talents like Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter[3].

### Health and Advertising
On a broader note, a recent study highlighted the impact of food advertisements during NFL games on viewers' dietary choices. The study found that foods advertised during games are often high in calories, fat, and sodium, which can contribute to poor dietary habits and health issues. This underscores the importance of awareness about the nutritional content of advertised foods and the need for healthier choices[2].

These developments provide a snapshot of the dynamic and evolving landscape of the NFL as teams prepare for the upcoming season.
