The NFL’s long, winding offseason has finally come to a close. And as training camps ramp up and preseason chatter gets louder, it’s time to take a moment and look back at what just happened in the league over the last several months — team by team, division by division.
The crew at Pro Football Rumors has been steadily rolling out deep-dive offseason reviews for all 32 franchises, and the full list is now ready for fans hungry to gauge how their team stacks up heading into the 2025 season.
Let’s take a quick stroll through what’s been going on around the league.
AFC East: A Familiar Arms Race
- Buffalo Bills: With Josh Allen still elite, the Bills focused on reshaping their offensive weapons and depth on defense.
- Miami Dolphins: All eyes were on Tua Tagovailoa’s long-term deal while the team added speed (surprise, surprise) and tightened up their secondary.
- New England Patriots: With Jerod Mayo now fully in charge, the Pats are entering a new era with a fresh QB at the helm.
- New York Jets: Aaron Rodgers is back and healthy. The Jets retooled both lines and doubled down on win-now mode.
AFC North: Built for Battle
- Baltimore Ravens: Still Lamar’s team, but this offseason was all about depth and tweaking the trenches.
- Cincinnati Bengals: A healthy Joe Burrow is step one — the front office added protection and got younger on defense.
- Cleveland Browns: Quietly strong offseason. They reinforced the front seven and gave Deshaun Watson more help.
- Pittsburgh Steelers: New offensive weapons and a quarterback battle brewing? Pittsburgh might be sneaky tough.
AFC South: Young Guns Rise
- Houston Texans: CJ Stroud’s breakout season had ripple effects — the Texans are now true contenders, and they’re building like it.
- Indianapolis Colts: Anthony Richardson is back and healthy. Indy reloaded on defense and doubled down on speed.
- Jacksonville Jaguars: Still Trevor Lawrence’s team, but the Jags quietly moved pieces on both sides of the ball.
- Tennessee Titans: A new-look offense and a changing of the guard at QB? The Titans are in the midst of a rebrand.
AFC West: Can Anyone Catch the Chiefs?
- Denver Broncos: Sean Payton is retooling. New QB room, younger defense — a lot of moving parts.
- Kansas City Chiefs: Reigning champs went light on splash, heavy on smart — it’s the Chiefs, after all.
- Las Vegas Raiders: A scrappy offseason. They brought in toughness, a new QB look, and still believe in their WRs.

- Green Bay Packers: Jordan Love proved he’s legit, and the Pack got younger, faster, and better on both sides.
