Will the Indianapolis Colts remorse not being extra energetic in free company?
Our reporters’ preseason picks:
Division winner: Colts
Division MVP: Andrew Luck, QB, Colts
Hottest seat: Invoice O’Brien, Texans coach
Greatest newcomer: Nick Foles, QB, Jaguars
Rising star: Darius Leonard, LB, Colts
It should not be a shock that the Colts signed solely three gamers from outdoors the group — receiver Devin Funchess, defensive lineman Justin Houston and working again Spencer Ware — throughout free company. Normal supervisor Chris Ballard has repeatedly stated his imaginative and prescient is about long-term success, not by signing a bunch of free brokers from the surface with the hope that they’re going to be capable of plug a bunch of holes on the roster. It is concerning the draft for the Colts. Ballard is not towards free company. He is simply selective in how a lot he makes use of free company, and he has a worth restrict he is not prepared to surpass on gamers when going that route. The Colts return 21 of 22 starters from final season’s crew that reached the divisional spherical of the playoffs. The Colts used seven of their 10 draft picks on defensive gamers, proving as soon as once more that the target stays the identical: Construct by means of the draft and retain key gamers. — Mike Wells
Can Deshaun Watson make the changes essential to develop into an elite quarterback?
There isn’t any telling how good the Texans’ franchise quarterback may very well be if he persistently had time to throw. Watson was sacked 62 instances final season and his common time to throw was Three.01 seconds, which ranked third slowest amongst passer-rating-qualified passers, so it wasn’t all of the offensive line’s fault. Besides, the road has room for enchancment. The excellent news for Watson is that he is resulting from have extra assist in 2019. The Texans are anticipated to have large receivers Will Fuller and Keke Coutee for the season opener, they add DeAndre Hopkins, and they need to have a gifted group of receivers. Coutee made an affect within the six video games he performed final season, and if he can keep wholesome, having a constant slot receiver may assist Watson eliminate the ball faster. On the finish of the Texans’ spring exercises, coach Invoice O’Brien stated he believed Watson’s grasp of the offense is “light-years” of the place it was even a yr in the past. Watson actually has the items round him to take a step ahead. — Sarah Barshop
Can quarterback Nick Foles duplicate his Philly success and complement Leonard Fournette and the Jaguars’ working sport?
Foles began 13 video games (together with playoffs) in his two seasons with the Eagles and accomplished 67.1% of his passes for Three,290 yards and 21 touchdowns with 11 interceptions. These aren’t eye-popping numbers, and so they look so much like Blake Bortles’ stats in 2017 (Three,687 yards, 21 TDs, 13 INTs), however Foles is extra correct and constant than Bortles, and that is an enormous improve. Foles was surrounded by playmakers in Philly — Darren Sproles, Nelson Agholor, Zach Ertz, Alshon Jeffery and Trey Burton — and he does not fairly have that arsenal with the Jaguars. Nonetheless, the Jags imagine Foles can elevate a median group of receivers, make the tight finish place related once more and handle the soccer sufficient to maintain the offense from being one-dimensional with Fournette and the working sport. The most important factor the Jaguars need Foles to duplicate from his time in Philly? His file as a starter: 10-Three, together with Four-1 within the postseason. — Michael DiRocco
Do the Titans have sufficient offensive firepower to win the division?
The Titans’ offense must be higher after including receivers Adam Humphries and A.J. Brown and guard Rodger Saffold to a bunch that already has receiver Corey Davis, tight finish Delanie Walker and working again Derrick Henry. Their offense ought to now be able to protecting tempo with the Texans and Colts. Humphries provides Tennessee a dependable veteran wideout who will hold drives alive and assist quarterback Marcus Mariota set up rhythm within the passing sport. An environment friendly passing sport that enhances the dashing assault may help the Titans play keep-away from the Texans’ and Colts’ offenses, which may help an already good Tennessee protection shut down its AFC South opponents. — Turron Davenport

Victor Cruz, Mike Tannenbaum and Josina Anderson handle the largest storylines within the NFC South, together with Jameis Winston’s make-or-break season and Cam Newton’s restoration.
Can the New Orleans Saints revive their passing offense?
Our reporters’ preseason picks:
Division winner: Saints
Division MVP: Drew Brees, QB, Saints
Hottest seat: Dan Quinn, Falcons coach
Greatest newcomer: Devin White, LB, Buccaneers
Rising star: Christian McCaffrey, RB, Panthers
Quarterback Drew Brees had a season for the ages final yr at age 39 — up till Thanksgiving, anyway. He was the MVP front-runner by means of his first 11 video games, when he averaged 285 yards per sport, with 29 touchdowns, two interceptions and an astounding passer ranking of 127.Three. However he and the Saints’ passing offense started to crater in December, significantly when it got here to getting the ball down the sector. Brees averaged simply 234.5 yards over his last six begins, with seven TDs and 5 interceptions, together with the playoffs, which ended along with his time beyond regulation interception towards the Rams within the NFC Championship Sport. A part of the issue was a banged-up offensive line. An even bigger subject was New Orleans’ lack of dependable pass-catchers (Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara had been the one two Saints with greater than 35 catches final season). Including free-agent tight finish Jared Cook dinner ought to assist, as ought to getting Ted Ginn Jr. again wholesome and getting extra growth from New Orleans’ younger backup receivers. — Mike Triplett
Can Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton’s throwing shoulder maintain up after his second surgical procedure in three offseasons?
To this point, so good on the rehab of Newton’s shoulder. He threw some on the June minicamp and may be barely forward of schedule. Staff officers insist the cleanup of scar tissue from Newton’s shoulder he underwent in January was a minor process and that the 2015 NFL MVP must be prepared for the season. However bear in mind, Newton got here into 2018 feeling higher than he has in years. He had the Panthers off to a 6-2 begin earlier than the shoulder turned a difficulty, forcing him to overlook lots of throwing in follow. Carolina misplaced seven straight, and Newton was shut down for the ultimate two video games. He insists he’ll at all times be a working quarterback, so he’ll proceed to take extra hits than most. To achieve success, Newton should make it your entire season with no setback. His backups are unproven, and as Newton goes, so go the Panthers. — David Newton
Can the Atlanta Falcons be as dominant on offense with coordinator Dirk Koetter as they had been in the course of the 2016 Tremendous Bowl run, once they averaged 33.eight factors per sport?
The Falcons have all of the instruments to be explosive on offense, with 2016 MVP Matt Ryan at quarterback, arguably essentially the most harmful receiver within the league in Julio Jones, plus a shifty working again in Devonta Freeman. Throw in receivers Calvin Ridley and Mohamed Sanu together with Professional Bowl tight finish Austin Hooper and that makes for a slightly intimidating crew. Ryan’s familiarity with Koetter, who’s again for his second stint as offensive coordinator, ought to assist the offense move a little bit higher than final season. Having Mike Mularkey because the tight-ends coach, along with his historical past for taking a smash-mouth strategy, must be an asset in short-yardage, goal-line conditions. If Jones and Freeman, who’ve handled nagging accidents over their careers, stay wholesome, and if the rebuilt offensive line, with rookie first-rounders Chris Lindstrom and Kaleb McGary, stands sturdy, the Falcons ought to push for 30 factors per sport. Then the query turns into, will Dan Quinn’s protection hold opposing offenses out of the top zone? — Vaughn McClure
Can the Tampa Bay Buccaneers shortly develop into contenders underneath head coach Bruce Arians?
Bruce Arians led the Indianapolis Colts to a 9-Three file and the playoffs as interim head coach whereas Chuck Pagano was present process most cancers therapy. He led the Arizona Cardinals to 2 playoff berths in 4 seasons. Can he infuse the identical profitable mentality for a Bucs crew that has had two profitable seasons over the previous 10, hasn’t been to the playoffs since 2007 and hasn’t received a playoff sport since 2002? Additional, can he flip Jameis Winston into an NFL winner just like the quarterback was at Florida State? Whereas groups such because the Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets and New York Giants have primarily cleaned home and began over lately, the Bucs imagine Arians can orchestrate a fast turnaround. He stated the day he was formally employed, “We aren’t rebuilding. We’re reloading.” — Jenna Laine

Will the Denver Broncos’ offseason strikes be sufficient to finish a three-year slide?
Sure, if their three largest strikes work out the way in which the Broncos hope. First, Vic Fangio, who waited greater than three a long time as an NFL assistant coach to get his first head-coaching job, needs to be as much as the problem. Fangio’s no-nonsense, tell-you-straight type received over gamers early. It included an old-school team-bonding “Discipline Day” carnival to finish offseason exercises. However now it is about game-day administration and dealing with the day-to-day of the common season. Second, quarterback Joe Flacco, 34, has to have as a lot left within the profession tank because the Broncos imagine he does. The Broncos want the previous Tremendous Bowl MVP to push the ball down the sector and provides the offense some much-needed big-play pop. Third, offensive line coach Mike Munchak, who additionally interviewed for the job Fangio bought, has to quiet down a unit that has merely struggled to seek out any form of continuity since earlier than Peyton Manning retired. — Jeff Legwold
Our reporters’ preseason picks:
Division winner: Chargers
Division MVP: Patrick Mahomes, QB, Chiefs
Hottest seat: Derek Carr, QB, Raiders
Greatest newcomer: Antonio Brown, WR, Raiders
Rising star: Derwin James, S, Chargers
Will defensive modifications get the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs to a Tremendous Bowl 50 years after their final one?
The necessary factor to recollect concerning the Chiefs’ protection in 2019 is they will not should be good or nice so as to assist Kansas Metropolis to a championship. The Chiefs merely have to be higher than they had been final yr. That is not an unreasonable expectation after they employed veteran coordinator Steve Spagnuolo to steer a brand new defensive teaching employees, switched their base system to a Four-Three and bought as many as seven new starters, together with finish Frank Clark and security Tyrann Mathieu. Whereas the Chiefs will not be dominant defensively, they’re going to be improved. It is troublesome to image the Chiefs in 2019 shedding 5 video games by which they scored 40, 51, 28, 31 and 31 factors, as they did final yr — together with the AFC Championship Sport. That time beyond regulation loss to the New England Patriots saved them from returning to the large sport for the primary time since Tremendous Bowl IV. — Adam Teicher
Can the Los Angeles Chargers experience Melvin Gordon to a championship?
That is the plan. Although the Chargers had been Four-Zero in video games Gordon missed final season, the Bolts’ offense is extra harmful when the Wisconsin product is the engine driving it. Gordon limped by means of the playoffs final season due to two balky knees. Chargers coach Anthony Lynn likes to lean on the working sport and stated he’ll restrict Gordon’s touches within the preseason and in the course of the common season with the hope that Gordon is extra recent on the finish of yr. Gordon, who averaged a career-high 5.1 yards per carry final season, stated he labored this offseason on changing into a quicker and extra explosive runner. Like Natrone Means in the course of the crew’s lone Tremendous Bowl run in 1994, the Bolts are banking on Gordon’s violent working type main them again to the title sport 25 years later. “I need to be an all-around again,” Gordon stated. “I say it yearly. Even the issues I am good at, I need to be nice. Issues I am common at, I need to be nice. That is simply who I’m. I simply need to hold working, hold grinding and simply be the perfect working again on the market.” — Eric D. Williams
Antonio Brown and Derek Carr have develop into “besties” this offseason, however how will their relationship endure if the Oakland Raiders get off to a gradual begin and Brown isn’t getting as many targets as he would really like?
Brown, whose ugly exit from Pittsburgh has been well-documented, has carried out and stated all the fitting issues upon his Oakland arrival, from his legendary work ethic to his preternatural means to get open and catch the ball. However the Raiders have the hardest schedule within the NFL, exacerbated by a brutal begin that sees them play their first two video games at dwelling after which not play in Oakland once more till Nov. Three. With so many new items, particularly on protection, a 1-6 begin (4 of the Raiders’ first seven opponents had been within the playoffs final season) wouldn’t be stunning. And Brown is used to getting the ball, as evidenced by his having averaged greater than 11.Three targets per sport since 2014. Jordy Nelson, Carr’s prime goal at wideout final season, averaged slightly below 5.9 targets per sport. Brown got here to Oakland to win and be productive, not that these two issues are mutually unique. But when the Raiders are getting clobbered early and Brown is getting the Nelson therapy, the honeymoon might be over in brief order. — Paul Gutierrez

Dianna Russini, Jeff Saturday and Tim Hasselbeck break down the largest storylines within the NFC West, together with query marks surrounding Kyler Murray and the Cardinals.
NFC West
Will the Kliff Kingsbury-Kyler Murray experiment work for the Arizona Cardinals?
Will it? We cannot know for months. Can it? Completely. This can be a uncommon match. Kingsbury — the Cardinals’ first-year coach — recruited Murray — the Cardinals’ rookie quarterback — out of highschool seven years in the past and so they had been lastly paired collectively in April when the crew took Murray with the No. 1 total choose. Murray has run a model of Kingsbury’s Air Raid for the reason that eighth grade. They discuss on a regular basis. Every understands what the opposite is making an attempt to do. Kingsbury is aware of learn how to deal with younger gamers probably higher than anybody within the NFL, having spent the previous six years as the top coach at Texas Tech. Certain, Kingsbury’s offense may’ve labored with another person working it, however there might not have been a greater match from a persona and historical past perspective than Murray. — Josh Weinfuss
Our reporters’ preseason picks:
Division winner: Rams
Division MVP: Russell Wilson, QB, Seahawks
Hottest seat: Steve Keim, GM, Cardinals
Greatest newcomer: Kyler Murray, QB, Cardinals
Rising star: George Kittle, TE, 49ers
Will Todd Gurley’s uncertainty and well being hold the Los Angeles Rams from one other Tremendous Bowl?
With a roster that returns two-time NFL Defensive Participant of the 12 months Aaron Donald and every talent place starter, together with receiver Cooper Kupp, who’s coming off a season-ending knee damage, the Rams are in place to look once more within the Tremendous Bowl. Nevertheless, uncertainty looms over the well being of working again Todd Gurley’s left knee and whether or not it should permit him to contribute on the quantity with which he has contributed over the previous two seasons. The offense, which produced 32.9 factors per sport final season, additionally should adapt to 2 first-time starters on the road in middle Brian Allen and left guard Joe Noteboom. The protection obtained a lift by including veteran pass-rusher Clay Matthews and security Eric Weddle, however inexperienced gamers — Greg Gaines and Micah Kiser — might be anticipated to step up at nostril deal with and inside linebacker, respectively, after the departures of Ndamukong Suh and Mark Barron. — Lindsey Thiry
Can Jimmy Garoppolo bounce again from a torn ACL and emerge because the franchise quarterback the San Francisco 49ers imagine he will be?
The 49ers have been unwavering of their perception in Garoppolo since he led them to 5 straight victories to shut the 2017 season. They paid him like a franchise quarterback and went into final season with outsized expectations regardless of a 6-10 file the yr earlier than. The query with Garoppolo is not expertise a lot as it’s sturdiness. Garoppolo performed simply two-plus video games in 2018 earlier than a knee damage ended his season. This offseason, the Niners put lots of their assets into the protection, however did spend two Day 2 picks on receivers and signed working again Tevin Coleman. There’s loads of potential on the roster offensively, however Garoppolo is the person charged with making all of it work. It begins with staying wholesome. If Garoppolo can play all 16 video games in coach Kyle Shanahan’s offense, there’s motive to imagine he can set up himself because the organizational centerpiece the crew believes he’s. — Nick Wagoner
Can Russell Wilson prime his ultra-efficient 2018 for the Seattle Seahawks?
Final season might have been Wilson’s greatest, contemplating he set a profession excessive in landing passes with 35 and tied his profession low with seven interceptions. It was undoubtedly his best season, provided that Wilson did that on his fewest passing makes an attempt (427) since 2013. However the departure of his longtime No. 1 goal, Doug Baldwin, leaves Tyler Lockett and Jaron Brown as his solely receivers with greater than three seasons of NFL expertise. Although the inevitable rising pains that include younger receivers may work to Wilson’s detriment, it ought to assist that he enters his second season underneath coordinator and de facto quarterbacks coach Brian Schottenheimer. No, the Seahawks will not must depend on Wilson extra as a result of they simply made him the highest-paid participant in NFL historical past. They’ll be one of many NFL’s most run-heavy groups so long as coach Pete Carroll is in cost. However the protection misplaced firepower for the second consecutive offseason and has a serious query mark at pass-rusher. Seattle may have Wilson to have one other 2018 stat line if the Seahawks are going to earn their eighth playoff berth in 10 seasons underneath Carroll. — Brady Henderson

Can the Payments’ decision-makers survive lacking the playoffs in 2019?
Sure. Coach Sean McDermott and common supervisor Brandon Beane earned goodwill from followers in 2017 once they led the franchise to its first playoff look since 1999. That saved followers off their backs when the Payments completed 6-10 final season, which was partly the results of buying and selling quarterback Tyrod Taylor and drafting Josh Allen — after which watching their growing rookie quarterback develop into injured midseason. Followers understood Beane and McDermott didn’t see Taylor as the muse of a long-term contender and are extra hopeful Allen will be the franchise quarterback. So long as Allen takes a step ahead in 2019, Beane and McDermott can survive into 2020 with out making the playoffs. The highest decision-makers appear to have bought the fan base on incremental enhancements over prompt gratification. — Mike Rodak
Our reporters’ preseason picks:
Division winner: Patriots
Division MVP: Tom Brady, QB, Patriots
Hottest seat: Sean McDermott, Payments coach
Greatest newcomer: Le’Veon Bell, RB, Jets
Rising star: Minkah Fitzpatrick, S, Dolphins
Can Josh Rosen hold the Dolphins from drafting a QB within the first spherical in 2020?
Rosen has to win the beginning job first, after which we are able to talk about him being part of the Dolphins’ long-term future. This spring, it has been the Ryan Fitzpatrick present, because the veteran has outplayed Rosen throughout organized crew actions and minicamp. However the competitors ought to warmth up in coaching camp. Rosen has stated he is treating this like a one-year tryout to show to the Dolphins he will be their franchise quarterback. After seven years of Ryan Tannehill, the Dolphins cannot afford to settle at quarterback anymore. Rosen can show himself worthy of additional analysis past 2019 if he can present constant examples of management when he will get his likelihood to begin. On a rebuilding crew, the attention take a look at — in follow and video games — should be the true barometer for Rosen. If there are doubts about him, the Dolphins should be ready to draft a quarterback excessive in 2020. — Cameron Wolfe
How will quarterback Tom Brady and the Patriots adapt after tight finish Rob Gronkowski’s retirement?
This query won’t have a definitive reply till deep into coaching camp. The Patriots’ offense underneath coordinator Josh McDaniels and Brady has at all times formed itself to the personnel obtainable, so if no extra additions are made at tight finish, it may result in a de-emphasis of the place. 4-year veteran Matt LaCosse was working with the primary unit in spring practices, however is he a sensible possibility to keep up a Gronk-type normal? No, however who actually is? Veteran Benjamin Watson may very well be a part of the combo, however he’ll miss the primary 4 video games of the season whereas serving an NFL suspension. “Transfer” possibility Stephen Anderson and 2018 seventh-round choose Ryan Izzo are subsequent on the depth chart. Nevertheless, there may be at all times the likelihood the Patriots swing a commerce or an surprising participant comes obtainable in the marketplace. — Mike Reiss
Can quarterback Sam Darnold present vital enchancment in 12 months 2, following the current development of Jared Goff, Mitchell Trubisky and Carson Wentz?
Darnold’s state of affairs is just like these of Goff and Trubisky in that he’s going from a defense-minded coach (Todd Bowles) to a coach with an offensive background (Adam Gase). There’s nothing higher for a younger quarterback’s growth than having a coach who sees the sport by means of the eyes of the quarterback, as Goff and Trubisky confirmed with Sean McVay and Matt Nagy, respectively. It is unrealistic to count on a Goff-like leap for Darnold as a result of his supporting solid (see: offensive line) is not as sturdy as that of the Los Angeles Rams — or Wentz’s Philadelphia Eagles solid, for that matter. However Darnold has sufficient expertise, and sufficient gifted folks round him, to duplicate what Trubisky did in his second season — 24 landing passes and 12 interceptions. Darnold ought to be capable of increase his completion proportion (57.7) by just a few factors; the additions of RB Le’Veon Bell and WR Jamison Crowder will assist in that respect. The important thing might be to chop down his interceptions (15 in 13 video games), and he can try this by not throwing into tight protection as usually as he did final season. — Wealthy Cimini

The Stay crew debates whether or not the Cowboys or the Eagles win will the NFC East.
NFC EAST
Can Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz recover from the damage bug?
Having suffered season-ending accidents every of the previous two years (torn ACL/LCL, stress fracture in again), Wentz spent a part of the offseason finding out learn how to take higher care of his physique. He improved his weight-reduction plan and tweaked his coaching routine in hopes it should result in higher well being and better profession longevity. The Eagles are banking on Wentz staying upright. They moved on from Nick Foles and handed Wentz a four-year, $128 million contract extension. Solely time will inform whether or not that funding will show a sensible one. What we all know for now could be Wentz appeared like his previous self this spring and has full intentions of returning to MVP-caliber kind. This Eagles crew is stacked from prime to backside. If Wentz can keep on the sector, Philadelphia has a legit likelihood of going the space. — Tim McManus
Our reporters’ preseason picks:
Division winner: Eagles
Division MVP: Carson Wentz, QB, Eagles
Hottest seat: Jay Gruden, Redskins coach
Greatest newcomer: DeSean Jackson, WR, Eagles
Rising star: Jonathan Allen, DL, Redskins
What is going to coordinator Kellen Moore deliver to the Cowboys’ offense?
The Cowboys’ offense grew stale the previous couple of seasons. Whereas they ran the ball successfully and had well timed performs underneath Scott Linehan, Dallas lacked explosive performs. The Cowboys had 39 move performs of 20 yards or extra in 2018. As a first-year coordinator, Moore can have a studying curve. He has one yr of teaching expertise, serving because the quarterbacks coach final season. He has by no means known as performs however has lengthy been thought of a coach-in-waiting courting to his Boise State days, when he turned the winningest quarterback in faculty soccer historical past. The bottom of the Cowboys’ offense stays — which coach Jason Garrett applied as coordinator in 2007 — however Moore is bringing completely different components that can marry a number of the unfold and run-pass choices which have come from the faculty sport to the NFL. Within the offseason, Moore used extra shifts and motions to run the identical performs out of various seems to be, just like what coach Sean McVay has carried out with the Los Angeles Rams. Moore’s creativity on the fly might be a bonus. Teammates have lauded his means to see the sport clearly in actual time, which ought to permit the Cowboys to regulate higher than they’ve prior to now. — Todd Archer
When will rookie Dwayne Haskins take over because the Redskins’ beginning quarterback?
The Redskins have persistently used one phrase when discussing their first-round draft choose: persistence. They favored what they noticed this spring by way of Haskins’ expertise and intelligence. The phrase “arm expertise” has been used fairly a bit. However earlier than and after the draft, it was clear the Redskins felt he wanted work. Haskins began 14 video games at Ohio State, so his studying curve is larger — Kyler Murray has comparable expertise, however his legs add a weapon Haskins lacks. Washington wants Haskins to enhance his footwork — and a few of that can come from quickening his reads so he does not really feel rushed underneath duress. The underlying subject: coach Jay Gruden’s job safety. He is getting into 12 months 6 after lacking the playoffs three straight seasons. He must win, and his wishes may conflict at instances with the group’s, understanding that Haskins’ growth is essential to the franchise’s future. But when the Redskins wrestle early with Case Keenum or Colt McCoy, then there is not any good motive to maintain Haskins sitting. — John Keim
Can the Giants’ offense be higher with out large receiver Odell Beckham Jr.?
New York goes to wish an improved offense total this season to attain any stage of success. The Giants have 61% of their wage cap earmarked for his or her offense, with solely 37% on their protection. That places the destiny of their 2019 season on quarterback Eli Manning & Co. It looks like a ridiculous premise to enhance with out Beckham, who is without doubt one of the most deadly offensive weapons in soccer. However the Giants improved their offensive line, nonetheless have ample targets and are going to lean closely on working again Saquon Barkley. It is potential they’re going to produce extra with their spread-it-around “village” strategy, contemplating they had been a well-below-average unit (27th in factors per sport by means of eight video games) for an excellent chunk of final season. — Jordan Raanan
