The NFL offseason is always full of surprises, and this year is no different with plenty of trades and signings shaping the upcoming season.
In Pittsburgh, there has been a double signing at the quarterback position with Justin Fields and Russel Wilson joining the Steelers to compete for the starting job. The departure of Pickett to the Eagles has opened up an opportunity for Wilson, who currently has a slight advantage. However, the final decision will be made during the offseason and the upcoming draft will also play a key role in determining the team’s direction.
The Eagles have made a significant move by signing former NY Giants running back Saquon Barkley, adding more firepower to their offense. Meanwhile, the Ravens have acquired Derrick Henry from the Titans to boost their team, making them one of the top contenders for the Super Bowl. The Titans, on the other hand, have filled the void left by Henry with Tony Pollard, while the Packers have welcomed Josh Jacobs from the Raiders.
The Houston Texans have been aggressive in the transfer market, putting together a formidable offense with the addition of Steffon Diggs and Joe Mixon. This move, along with the signing of quarterback CJ Stroud, has the potential to create a dynamic offensive unit for the Texans.
In a surprising move, star wide receiver Keenan Allen has left the Los Angeles Chargers to join the Bears. The Chicago Bears, who also hold the No. 1 pick in the upcoming draft, are expected to select quarterback Caleb Williams, creating an exciting combination for the upcoming season.
The reigning champions, the Chiefs, have made some significant changes to their roster. Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown has joined the team to provide more options for quarterback Mahomes. In a unique move, rugby player Louis Rees-Zammit has decided to try his luck in the NFL with the Chiefs, impressing many with his physical abilities during the Combine. However, the Chiefs have also lost defensive stalwart L’Jarius Sneed, who has been traded to the Titans for draft picks.
Defensive changes have also taken place across the league, with notable moves including linebacker Danielle Hunter to the Texans, former Niners defensive end Chase Young to the Saints, and linebacker Haason Reddick to the Jets. These moves could strengthen the defenses of their respective teams and add more depth to their rosters.
