Coordinator Ben Johnson is a smart play-caller who will find a way to maximize their talents. Brown's skill sets, but Kupp only played in the slot 43.4 percent of the time last season, per Player Profiler. There's some overlap between Kupp and St. Pairing him with Kupp would make the receiving corps downright nasty. The Lions were one of the better offenses in the league behind a good offensive line, a resurgent season from Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. The Detroit Lions could make their case for inclusion by acquiring one of the remaining superstars from the Rams team that won Super Bowl LVI. The Cowboys aren't that far behind, but the pecking order gets a little murky after that. The Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers are the odds-on favorites to represent the conference in the Super Bowl. There's a bit of a power void in the NFC.

The Raiders have an out in his contract if he isn't healthy and, "they are not 100 percent certain everything will work out." Vic Tafur of The Athletic reported the team was unaware Garoppolo needed foot surgery when he signed his contract.
Garoppolo's injury status is another key factor. "It's not what I expected to happen, but it's something that's the reality now." "I'm going to have to buy into this and try to be as optimistic as possible," he told Mirin Fader of The Ringer. He hasn't been all that supportive of the team in the media. There's already reason to believe that things could be headed toward a divorce between Adams and the Raiders, though. The Raiders' decision to part ways with Carr marks the dawn of a new era, and Jimmy Garoppolo is slated to take over under center. Their Sin City tenure wasn't long, though. The duo was quite successful in Vegas, with Adams posting his second career 1,500-yard season. Raiders Receive: 2024 first-round pick, 2025 third-round pickĭavante Adams went to the Las Vegas Raiders, in part, to reunite with college teammate Derek Carr. Their cap situation was a little tight this offseason, but they have $44 million in cap space on the books already in 2024. 1 receiver.Īfter handing Daniel Jones a massive contract extension this offseason, they have to invest in making him successful. They would give the Bengals a chance to trade Higgins out of the conference and should be in the market for a true No. Several teams should be willing to pay a first- and third-rounder for a receiver, but the New York Giants make a lot of sense. If the Bengals were to trade Higgins so they could continue to build around Burrow and Chase, they would likely be able to get a package similar to the one the Titans got for A.J. General manager Duke Tobin has shot down Higgins trade rumors before, but they also haven't handed out any extensions yet. Right now, they are enjoying all three stars on rookie contracts, but they are all due for extensions that figure to be market-setting or top-of-the-market deals. Unfortunately, it's going to be difficult with salary-cap restraints. The Cincinnati Bengals would probably love to keep the core of Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins together for the foreseeable future. The 49ers offense took off after acquiring Christian McCaffrey, while the Ravens upgraded their defense with Roquan Smith.Īs we head into training camp, now is a good time to think up some hypotheticals that would cause "fireworks." We'll keep these ideas in the realm of possibility while taking some big swings on transactions that would cause a lot of noise around the league and potentially create some powerful offenses or defenses.īengals Receive: 2024 first-round pick, 2024 third-round pick, 2025 third-round pick
Last year we saw a few big trades during the season. It's a trend that only figures to continue. This offseason alone we've seen Jalen Ramsey, Stephon Gilmore, Brandin Cooks and Darren Waller swap teams. We've seen our fair share over the last few seasons. The fireworks have settled from Fourth of July weekend, and the NFL calendar is hitting its final lull before teams head to training camp to prepare for the 2023 season.Īt this point, the only thing that could cause some excitement around the league is a high-profile trade.
