Here is a rundown of the latest original content from PFR:
- In the last two weeks, we’ve seen a few of the latest issues from our Offseason in Review series. Sam Robinson started us off with an in-depth look at the Texans‘ offseason activities. Bolstered by the belief that they have found their franchise quarterback in C.J. Stroud, Houston decided it was time to go all in, trading for weapons like Stefon Diggs and Joe Mixon and amending both players’ contracts. They also extended wide receiver Nico Collins, further securing their arsenal of weapons. Their gains in the offseason seem to have outweighed their losses, but they’ll have some larger-than-life expectations to live up to in 2024.
- A couple of days later, Sam followed that up with a look at the Broncos‘ Offseason in Review edition. It started to look a bit like a rebuild with Denver letting Russell Wilson and Jerry Jeudy leave. Drafting rookie Oregon quarterback Bo Nix and trading for former Jets passer Zach Wilson, along with some contract restructures, showed the direction that head coach Sean Payton and company seem to be headed in Year 2 on the job.
- Finally, Adam La Rose contributed another issue, diving into the offseason activities of the Ravens. As we tend to see with successful teams, there was a mass exodus from Baltimore this offseason as coaches and players became coveted after the team’s 13-4 campaign. The offseason saw four staffers earn promotions to general manager, head coach, and defensive coordinator. The team also lost several key contributors on both sides of the ball like Odell Beckham Jr., Gus Edwards, Patrick Queen, and Jadeveon Clowney. With the only big addition being that of running back Derrick Henry, most of the team’s offseason was focused on retaining top talent and filling the newly vacated roles with players already on the roster.
Nelson Agholor caught the same number of passes as OBJ so was he a “key contributor” for the Ravens as well?
I think we’re overstating the losses of OBJ who was inconsistent in time with Baltimore and Queen who never looked good…and at times still didn’t, until Roquan arrived.
Edwards was the big back that got it done deep in the RZ and as stated was replaced by the king of that. Clowney for sure is an actual loss. I’d say the biggest losses for Baltimore are Zeitler who has just been doing it at a good or better level for his career and Moses who is underrated every season.
