Oh, we are receiving people there. Pad will be popping soon. And the 53-man roster estimate will soon do projecting. Some teams already had a report of players training campAnd every team will be till next week by this time. Before a long time, we will start learning which is our NFL Takes offsen.
But why wait?
This is the time for the training camp version of the overrogen column, where I make some conclusions that you must have drawn from the offsen activity of the teams and can tell you if they are overrome.

Baker Mefield’s breakout
All four NFC northern teams will make playoffs
Three of them made it last season. Lions and Vikings combined to win 29 games until the final game of the regular season, not only a duality to decide the title of division, but also the No. 1 Seed in NFC Playoffs. Packers moved 11–6 with the youngest roster in the league. Four of those damage were for Lions and Vikings, and another super bowl was for champions Eagles.
Bear? Well, they left 5–12, but this season should vary from to which former Lions aggressive coordinator Ben Johnson is as his head coach. He has also formed a group of aggressive personnel Needed Help start the development of 2024 number 1 pick Kaleb Williams,
Johnson did not jump from the Division’s best team thinking about a long -term reconstruction from his worst team. The bears want to be a factor immediately. And with an aggressive line of reconstruction, a couple of new skills on crime and coaching Dennis Allen defense, you can see how they can be. Since 2020 – the first season in which NFL’s extended playoff format made it possible – no division has sent all its four teams to the playoffs in the same season. But it is bound to be at some point, and this partition load looks.
Decision: Overrection
Chicago’s key is the key to making, but it still looks a bit a little bit soon with its current roster. The Bears plays 10 games against the teams that created a game against last -season playoffs, as well as a game against Cowboys and Bangles. Hard schedule, hard division. And even if the bears are broken through this year, their success is likely to come at the cost of one of their divisions rivals.
For the rest of the NFC, the eagles still look terrible. Commanders appear priced to build at the surprise of the previous season NFC Championship Game run. 49 residents should bounce back and challenge Ram in NFC West. Quarterback Duck prescottThe return of the Dallas can always make a factor in the unexpected east. Heck, perhaps NFC South can get more than one team. … OK sorry. It is taking it far away. But the issue is, it is not that there are no playoff-caliber teams anywhere else in the conference. It is going to be difficult for the answer to get four teams.
Nine straight AFC West titles heads will end the streak
There is another division in which three teams made last year’s playoffs. The team that did not use Pete Carol as head coach and traded for QB Geno smithWhy can’t you it Be the partition that is in all four teams? Does Kansas City’s rearview mirror have Broncos- and charger-shaped objects as they appear?
Denver beef with his already excellent defense Draw greenlav And Talana HafangaAnd brought it to the tight end Ivan ngram To give the second year QB Bo nix Another goal. Chargers added a couple of new running back, a couple of new wide receiver and signed a 6-foot-7, 363-pound guard Mekhi Becton To further strengthen your aggressive line away from super bowl champs.
Reders made major upgrade to coaches and quarterbacks. They are also planning to make an ongoing game around the crook Ashton JeantyWhich was one of the best players in the draft under any circumstances. Everybody run a gun for quarterbacks Patrica mahms And the chief, who stagged several times in the previous season and saw that his gruesome pass security was embarrassed in the super bowl.

Why Sam Acho is not putting anyone on the heads in AFC
Sam Acho explains why the chiefs are still ahead of bill and revenue in AFC.
Decision: Overrection
As the chiefs saw in the previous season, they still won 15 games and a total of 17 games in the regular session. He accepted four games ahead of the Chargers and ahead of five bronchos to make his debut in Danver.
This is a ton of land for those teams, even if both of them can improve their rosters. Especially because the chief probably got better, too!
He believes that he has improved the left tack by signing Gulon moore And drafting Josh semons In the first round. wide receiver Rashi rice The sentence was sentenced on Thursday 30 days in jailWhich can be served at any point during the five -year probation period, but is back from the injury that ended his season quickly. moreover, Hollywood brown ACL is back from injury that forced him to start his season late. Add improvement that 2024 first round pick Zevier worthy Last season was built, and Mahooms have a reason to feel much better about their comprehensive receiver group.
A healthy race back Isiah pacheko And a slim-down tight end Travis cails Help a skill group prescribed to avenge that shameful Super bowl lossThe heads are not giving this division easily.
At least three of Brown’s current quarterbacks will start games for him this season
Without Deshan watsonWhich is earning another $ 46 million in this season, but is likely to remember the most, if not all, it is recovering from one Achils injuryBrown’s current Cuby depth charts are included Joe Fleko, Kenny picket And crooks Dillon gabriel And Shedur sandersThere are a lot of speculation that one of those people can do business between now and the beginning of the season. But even if this happens, it will still be a crowded room that will have more questions than the answer.
Auds are that one of the giants – Flacco or Pickkett – will open the season as a starter. But looking at the history of the brown in a position and most teams use more than one quarterback per season, it is appropriate to assume that the week 1 starter will not necessarily be the same in the week 17.
Decision: Not an overlapping
Business Brown made with Jaguar to allow Jacksonville to drag the draft Travis Hunter In the draft of 2026, he left Cleveland with an additional first round pick. At that point, Watson’s contract would have only one year left and the team would certainly have moved beyond his idea as his long -term future (if it’s not already).
With two first-rounders in a draft, which is expected to be better in QB than this year, Brown will need to go with some certainty in the next offsen that they are already on the roster. Even if FlaCCO or picket opened the season as a starter, Cleveland needs to find out what this is the third round pick Gabriel or fifth round pick sanders. It seems like a complete slam-dunk that will start the game for Brown at least three quarterbacks this season.
This is the turn of commanders to win NFC East
The commanders were not highly expected in the previous season, but they were one of the great surprises. Under the leadership of new head coaches Dan Quin and Ruki Quarterback Jayden danielThe commanders won their last five games of the regular season (including one against eagles) to make the playoffs as a wild card. They then harass Buckers and Lions to carry forward the NFC Championship game.
Washington’s record of 12-5 put the team only two games behind Philadelphia, and they traded for veterans like Left Tackle Luorous tunsil And comprehensive receiver Debo Samuel SRIn an attempt to take the next step and maximize Daniel’s stop-contract window. Eagles still look unprecedented and will openly open the division as a favorite, but no team has repeated as NFC East Champion since 2004. The commanders have set their places on large things in 2025.

Can Commander NFC cross eagles in the east?
Mike Tannanbam and Peter Rosenberg explained in detail why they have the commanders going to win the NFC East.
Decision: Not an overlapping
This is actually the turn of the veterans, as every other NFC East team has won the division at least three times as New York did so in 2011. But since the title of a giant division Washington would be a big surprise compared to the previous season, let’s keep it focused on the commanders for now.
Quinn took Falcons in a super bowl in his second season as the head coach of Atlanta, so he is not one for expectations. The experience that Daniels gained and that is already shown in the fourth quarters should only help to move forward.
Championship-season veterans Bobby wagner And Zach ErtzThose who were helped to introduce a fresh culture to help jump, have returned to another run. Experienced coronaback Marshon Lattimor The previous season should be better than your trade-dadline stint. And while there is no reason to doubt the eagles, repeating as the champion in this division is incredibly difficult.
The Dallas should be better with quarterbacks Duck prescott Healthy back, but Washington seems more than cowboys. It is very possible that the commander takes another jump and finish the top in the east.
Baker mefield Buccaneers will lead to another division title – and will land on a large -scale new contract
Bucccaneers have NFC won south Four years in a row – with twice Tom Brady And twice with mefield. A year before that line began, he won a super bowl from a wild-card spot.
Tampa Bay has been one of the most consecutive good teams despite the tones of changes quietly, and Mefield’s career revival has been a major reason for this. Bucs he got nothing for nothing before 2023 season, then rewarded him with one Three years, $ 100 million Contract before the 2024 season.
After this year, Mefield will have one year and $ 27 million on their deal. He is only 30 years old, and if he leads Bucs to the fifth straight division title with another new aggressive coordinator, you have to believe that he will be in line for another bigger expansion this time.
Decision: Not an overlapping
Falcons look like the top challenger, but both of them could not ignore the books in the last season even after defeating Tampa Bay in the head matchup. wide receiver Chris Godwin Should be back to books Seasonal ankle injuryAnd he made one of the timid-good offsen pickups at Edge Rashar Hessen Radic,
It is advisable to worry about the potential loss of left tackle Triston Wirfs Because of one for the first month of the season Knee injuryOr a head is going for a head coaching job for another offsen in one line about the aggressive coordinator. But it would be unfair to assume that BUCS does not have the ability to solve its problems. Mefield found a house in Tampa Bay and has been constantly productive since reaching there. Books divisions are worth being preferred. And if they win it again, Mefield will have a strong case for a big growth.
