Vikings and Broncos strengthen defenses in free agency

NFL free agency has seen many significant defensive signings. Over the past week, most of the big moves came from teams looking to improve their defenses. This year, 15 out of the 20 highest-paid non-quarterbacks who switched teams are defensive players. The Minnesota Vikings made notable additions to their defensive line. Their defense was strong last season but struggled with stopping runs up the middle. By bringing in new players, they aim to improve their pressure stats and overall defensive strength. The New England Patriots are excited about their new cornerback duo, Davis and Christian Gonzalez. Both players are physical and will be tough for opponents. They also added Williams to their defensive line, making their defense more formidable if other players return from injuries. In Arizona, the Cardinals signed Sweat, who reunites with his former coach, Jonathan Gannon. Sweat has had successful seasons in the past and is expected to strengthen the team's edge rushing. The Seattle Seahawks welcomed Lawrence, who has faced injuries but is effective when healthy. His skills fit well with the team's defensive plans. The Los Angeles Rams added Ford, who showed promise last season. Joining a solid group of players, he brings versatility to the defensive line. The Indianapolis Colts are banking on new veterans Bynum and Ward to boost their secondary under the guidance of their new coordinator. Ward aims for a comeback this season after personal challenges. Lastly, the Denver Broncos signed Greenlaw and Hufanga, both with injury histories. If healthy, they will enhance the Broncos' defense significantly, especially in key positions.
