NFL Trade Rumors
July is the driest month of the year when it comes to NFL news, which makes it the perfect time for something like a top 100 players list. For the fourth straight year, we’re happy to bring you our 2025 NFLTR Top 100 Players.
We’re not the only outlet that does a top 100 — NFL Media has done one with at least some democratic input from current players since 2011 — but our goal is to give more credit to players and positions that are often easy to overlook, especially in the trenches. We build it using traditional and advanced statistics, awards, positional value, career trajectory and a good old-fashioned dash of the eye test. Our list won’t be perfect but the goal is to give as much credit where it’s due as possible.
We’ll be rolling this list out over the next couple of weeks, so keep checking back for updates to our 2025 NFLTR Top 100 Players list.

Raimann isn’t a big name yet but he debuted on this list last year after a breakout season and proceeded to improve his game more in 2024. After being credited with 34 total pressures allowed in 2023, Raimann cut that number down to just 20 last year. He finished as PFF’s No. 8-graded tackle with an 85.1 grade, higher than the year before when he was No. 7. That sort of improvement is promising because the 27-year-old Raimann is still new to the game as a former Austrian exchange student. The 6-6, 303-pound Raimann has outstanding athleticism and a lot of potential still to tap into.
Last year, Humphrey was quietly on thin ice coming off what was a frustrating season for him personally in 2023. Even though the Ravens as a whole were successful, Humphrey missed significant time to injury and saw his production drop. With a huge 2025 salary, Humphrey risked becoming a cap cut...
