Kansas Crimson

Rams going all in again for 2022. Just signed Allen Robinson to 3 year deal worth $45M.

Wilson to DEN, Chandler Jones to LAS, Von Miller to BUF, [s]Brady's retirement[/s], et al. have kind of shifted power from NFC to AFC.

NFC last two SB's, NFC deeper in 2021, but looking like 2022 AFC could be deeper.

AFC so much better than the NFC right now.

Kansas City - Mahomes
Buffalo - Allen
Cincinnati - Burrow
LA Chargers - Herbert
Baltimore - Jackson (although we'll see, I'm not convinced he's as great as some think)
New England - [Checks Paperwork] Yep, they still have Belichick
Tennessee - Best RB in the NFL
Indianapolis - 2nd best RB in the NFL

Then you still have
Denver - Wilson (not a fan)
Pittsburgh (maybe the best organization in the NFL)
Raiders - 10-7 last season, maybe Carr is finally going to be a better than average NFL QB?


The NFC has

LA Rams - Stafford (and a insanely good roster)
Green Bay - Rodgers (can't win in the cold)
Tampa Bay - Brady (but a lot of roster work is needed)

Dallas - Does anyone really believe they're legit Super Bowl contenders?
Arizona - Start hot, finish flat trend continues. Also have a baseball player at QB
San Francisco - Great roster, coach and organization but no QB. Should be doing everything possible to get Watson

IDK, a lot of non-playoff teams in your AFC list, but again, if the players are switching conferences, things change really quick in this league.

AFC has had the better young QB talent so the shift was likely to occur.

Best WR core in the NFL.

Devonte Adams traded to Raiders for 2 “prime” 2022 picks.

AFC West STACKED.
Will the Chiefs respond with anything?

Also LOL Aaron Rodgers.

Ridiculous. Chiefs need to do something.

Well, there is a set number of playoff spots available so……..

Now this seems too steep to me.

It's one thing to have to pay a non-QB $30m a year for the next 5 years, but then to have to trade your first and second rounder to "get" to do so?

But, no mistake, Adams is great and another star goes nfc to afc.

When 7 from each conference get in--nearly half--the bare minimum to be called a good team is to make the playoffs, IMO.

So the number of good teams is predetermined by the number of playoff spots available? Seems kind of weird.

I’m not sure that the Packers are a contender without any WRs anymore.

Agreed, now the NFC is the Rams and a Tampa Bay team that needs a lot of roster work.

I’m not convinced that Watson makes either New Orleans or Atlanta a real Super Bowl contender.

Tampa has made some deals.
And they have GOAT.

Plenty of very good FA WR still available. I just don't know how much money they have and are willing to spend.
I think they will need to sign one of the following guys.... Jones, Landry, Fuller, Hilton, JuJu, Beasley, Sanders.

A combo of two of those guys still won’t replace Adams. And Green Bay is having some cap issues at the moment.

Although, Bears fans probably shouldn't be laughing. The Bears have gotten worse in the off season too.

The Bears are building though. I like their approach.

Deshaun Watson to Browns. He gets a long term deal as well.

Gross.
