Following the peak of the 2025 free agency, an evaluation reveals several NFL players who are significantly underpaid despite their impressive performances.

Among them is Philadelphia Eagles' linebacker Nakobe Dean, who is coming off a standout season with 128 tackles but is earning just $5.2 million on his rookie contract.

Pittsburgh Steelers' wide receiver George Pickens is another example, averaging over 900 yards per season while making only $1.7 million, far less than many of his peers.

Seattle Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba also stands out, having had a Pro Bowl season with over 1,130 yards, yet his salary is under $5 million for the next two years.

Miami Dolphins' running back De'Von Achane is set to earn just $1.5 million in 2025 after a strong sophomore season where he accumulated 1,499 scrimmage yards and scored 12 touchdowns.

Cincinnati Bengals' Chase Brown, a fifth-round pick, had a breakout year with 1,350 scrimmage yards but will earn only $1.1 million in 2025.

New York Giants' linebacker Micah McFadden is under a $1 million average annual value after back-to-back seasons with over 100 tackles.

Indianapolis Colts' Josh Downs is another emerging talent, contributing significantly on offense while under contract for two more years at $3 million.

Chicago Bears' Gervon Dexter has also made a name for himself as a pass-rushing talent on a bargain $1.5 million contract.

San Francisco 49ers' quarterback Brock Purdy, who holds the highest passer rating in NFL history, remains underpaid as a seventh-round pick.

Kansas City Chiefs' cornerback Trent McDuffie, a two-time All-Pro, is in the final year of his rookie deal earning $4.5 million, which is considered low for his contributions.

Dallas Cowboys' Tyler Smith, a two-time Pro Bowler, is currently making $4.3 million, a figure expected to rise soon given his performance.
