Super Bowl LX is in the books, and we are officially on to the 2026-27 NFL season.

Every team’s first task of the offseason is to decide whether or not to re-sign any impending free agents (and the Jacksonville Jaguars face difficult decisions on that front). From there, we’ll transition into pro free agency, then the college draft, then college free agency. Get ready for significant change over the next couple of months.
