2026 NFL offseason resource rankings: How do all 32 teams stack up by salary cap space and draft capital?

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

IF Stafford can stay healthy, and he's not the only one, the Rams might be able to grab just enough pieces in FA to make another serious run.

Raiders in full rebuild. The only thing that article got wrong is they don't need an edge as much as they need a DT, and linebackers, and...well, how much of a list do you want?!

I just can't get over that $80.7m cap hit the Browns have because of Watson. For Steeler, Bengal and Raven fans, the Browns are just the gift that keeps on giving.

Starting to think the Browns have to be sold to improve, they are such a debacle. No wonder Schwartz had enough. See how Garrett feels in a couple of years ! Rams have two first round picks and a good GM at the helm. Trading up in the draft for an elite player wouldn't surprise me. or using them in free agency. They were probably hoping to find a replacement for Stafford but it's the wrong draft for that apart from the number one pick who everyone believes will become a Raider. Supposed to be a very good draft for WR's and RB's. Not exactly a need for the Rams at the moment. Not a good O line draft either supposedly.

Maybe not a rebuild but a 1st year success like in the cases of Washington, Houston & Denver they had with their rookies QBs? Mandoza is being compared to Matt Ryan by many analysts. In fact, Bleacher scouting report says Mendoza is a " Matt Ryan with mobility."

The impact that Mendoza had on Indiana winning the NC and all is similar to the impact that Jayden Daniels had on LSU his senior year. Both are Heisman winners and both won a bunch of postseason awards (e.g, Davey O'Brien, Walter Campbell, Manning, Johnny Unitas, All-American, etc) Though both have entirely different playing styles (hardcore dual-threat vs mobile pocket passer), they share elite passing skills, high football IQ & great leadership qualities (one thing that Mendoza has over Daniels is elite size).

Barring a disastrous preseason or unforeseen injury, Mendoza will be at the helm come opening week. And it's not like he won't have any weapons to work with; Casper 2.0, Babybull Jeanty & Speedy Tre Tucker would make any OC salivate. And I'm sure Kubiak can figure out how to shore up that OL. Perhaps Kubiak can take a chapter out of Kingsbury's book and run RPO spread with Mendoza - his primary offense at Indiana.

Check out the game winning drive with the hurry up offense against Penn St. This is the kind of stuff Daniels was doing at LSU (I wonder if the announcer had a heart attack on the TD pass? Lol).

I suppose it's possible. Another roadblock is the AFC West plays the NFC West next year, so the Raiders will have a very difficult schedule, on top of all their needs.

There are Mendoza critics out there, my guess is they just don't like the Raiders, or are Buckeye or Hurricane fans. But I am personally sold on Mendoza. I can't possibly see the Raiders budging from the pick.

I can't watch (much) football in vertical format. Here's highlights to that whole game, and Mendoza's amazing throws (and some runs!). Incredibly clutch, and his receivers deserve all the credit they get too.

Yeah. Being bad is one thing but being deeply horrible with that contract burden would take a decently run team a decade to undo. Sell it. Move it. Let a fresh franchise come to Cleveland and never speak of it again.

NFL starting QBs 2026: Predicting the starters for all 32 teams

The NFL's quarterback carousel is preparing to spin again. Here's who might be the league's starting QBs in 2026 ahead of the draft and free agency.

www.usatoday.com

Interesting take here. He's got the Jets signing Murray, the Cardinals taking Tua, the Vikings looking at either Cousins or Carr (if he unretires), and the Steelers looking at Cousins if Rodgers decides to retire or jumps ship to the Vikings (there's some speculation that Rodgers wants to play in Minn).
