Minnesota Vikings safety Camryn Bynum may or may not return to the purple team in 2025.

5 Possible Free Agent Destinations for Camryn Bynum

He ranked as the NFL’s 63rd-best safety per Pro Football Focus in 2024 and will probably seek a fat contract from Minnesota or a different team in free agency.

And if Bynum departs to a new franchise in two weeks via free agency, these are his five likeliest landing spots listed in ascending order (No. 1 = most likely destination).

5. Denver Broncos

Starting Safeties under Contract in 2025:
Brandon Jones
P.J. Locke

Locke is replaceable, and the Broncos employ a man as general manager, George Paton, who was in the room four years ago when Minnesota drafted Bynum.

Denver has about $42 million to spend on free agency, more than enough to secure Bynum.

4. New York Giants

Starting Safeties under Contract in 2025:
Tyler Nubin

Nubin will be back at safety for the Giants, but Jason Pinnock may not. He’s on deck to test free agency. And Pinnock wasn’t very good in 2024 in the first place.

New York has oodles of money to spend in free agency, so they get the nod as a possible Bynum destination.

3. Las Vegas Raiders

Starting Safeties under Contract in 2025:
None

Tre’von Moehrig and Marcus Epps are free agents to be, leaving the Raiders’ safety room pretty barren. And Las Vegas has 100 million bucks to spend on external newcomers. Why not Bynum, who will be looking for a fancy payday?

2. New England Patriots

Starting Safeties under Contract in 2025:
Jabrill Peppers
Kyle Dugger

The Patriots lead the way leaguewide per available cap space, and Kyle Dugger did not play well in 2024. New England’s $130 million in cash must go somewhere. It has the funds to sign Bynum as a luxury item at safety.

Bynum would then play for defensively-minded head coach Mike Vrabel, which would suit him well.

1. New York Jets

Starting Safeties under Contract in 2025:
None

The top four safeties in the Jets’ roster orbit are scheduled to test free agency. Meanwhile, New York hired Spielman in an advisory role this offseason after helping that franchise land Darren Mougey as general manager and Aaron Glenn as head coach.

Spielman personally drafted Bynum four years ago, increasing the chances of a 2025 partnership.
