Here are the recent originals produced by the PFR staff:
- We kicked off our 2023 Offseason In Review series with the Broncos, who took a big swing by trading for Sean Payton — after the 2022 Nathaniel Hackett hire led to a wildly disappointing season. Payton made major moves along the offensive line, and ex-Broncos HC Vance Joseph is back in Denver as defensive coordinator. But the season will center on whether Russell Wilson has truly run into a steep decline or if a host of other factors led to his struggles last year.
- The Titans passed on extending Adoree’ Jackson, and fellow first-round cornerback Caleb Farley has not shown much yet. The team has seen ex-second-rounder Kristian Fulton make progress, and Adam La Rose looked into his extension candidacy. Fulton is aiming for a new Tennessee deal.
- Staying on the extension front, I discussed the Jaguars-Evan Engram situation ahead of the July 17 franchise tag deadline. Engram joins three running backs (Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs, Tony Pollard) as tagged players this year, after Lamar Jackson and Daron Payne inked extensions. A former Giants first-rounder, Engram is coming off a season in which he set the Jaguars’ single-season tight end receiving yardage record with 766.
- The Ravens look to have made their intentions with Patrick Queen clear, giving Roquan Smith a record-setting ILB deal and drafting Clemson’s Trenton Simpson in Round 3. Through that lens, Ely Allen discussed the prospect of Baltimore fetching trade compensation for Queen. The Ravens breaking up their dynamic ILB pair would surprise, but with Smith bringing a nice haul for the Bears in his contract year, would Baltimore listen to offers for a player unlikely to be in its long-term plans?
- Aaron Rodgers and Jalen Ramsey are now in the AFC East, providing plenty of buzz for the Jets and Dolphins. But the Bills have won the AFC East three years running. In PFR’s latest poll, readers are not yet convinced Miami, New York or New England will overtake Buffalo in this division.
