NFL Power Rankings: Risers and fallers after free agency shake up Super Bowl picture
SB Nation • • sports
Key Points:
- The Miami Dolphins rank last (32nd) due to a bold but risky strategy focusing on signing a relatively inexperienced quarterback to a large contract and offloading many other players.
- The Los Angeles Rams top the rankings (1st) after aggressive trading and acquisitions, including Trent McDuffie, with attempts to further bolster their roster despite recent playoff success.
- The San Francisco 49ers (2nd) and Buffalo Bills (3rd) are positioned near the top, with the 49ers strengthened by adding Mike Evans and the Bills benefiting from a strong coaching staff and key acquisitions despite some costly trades.
- Several teams like the Cincinnati Bengals (10th) and Detroit Lions (9th) have high offensive potential but face challenges such as coaching stability and postseason consistency.
- Teams such as the Arizona Cardinals (31st), Cleveland Browns (30th), and New York Jets (29th) are near the bottom due to questionable quarterback situations and lack of impactful moves in the offseason.
