What’s Next for Our Favorite Teams?

Every team has a big decision to make before the season starts. Here are some of the biggest questions:

• Buffalo Bills: Can they finally take the next step and make a Super Bowl run? A stronger defense is a must.
• Miami Dolphins: Their offensive line needs a rebuild—how will they protect Tua Tagovailoa?
• New England Patriots: With $100 million in cap space, will they go for a top receiver like Tee Higgins or build a stronger O-line?
• New York Jets: Who replaces Aaron Rodgers? Options include Kirk Cousins, Justin Fields, or a rookie QB.
• Baltimore Ravens: Do they keep veteran Ronnie Stanley at left tackle, or find a younger option?

Players to Watch in Free Agency & the NFL Draft

We’re keeping an eye on some big names in free agency, including Matthew Stafford, Sam Darnold, and Kirk Cousins. Meanwhile, in the NFL Draft, quarterbacks like Riley Leonard and Jaxson Dart could shake things up.
