NFL Offseason Preview - AFC & NFC East
Chew previews the NFL offseason for the AFC and NFC East teams.
Long before I knew what dynasty fantasy football was, the NFL offseason has been one of my favorite parts of the NFL. The Super Bowl is nearly here, so aside from the Patriots, the rest of the AFC and NFC East are no longer represented in the playoffs, so let’s take a look at their offseason setups. Each team has a summary for their salary cap, draft capital, and depth chart with pending free agents.
Here is a look at the AFC & NFC South, AFC & NFC North & AFC & NFC West.
