With every team officially at training camp, we recap the biggest moves of the offseason and answer a burning question for each team.

AFC East
Buffalo Bills
What will Joe Brady do in his first season as head coach?
The Bills could look drastically different this season, but not necessarily with the players they will be utilizing. Buffalo had defensive head coach Sean McDermott for the past nine seasons. Now, the Bills are under Brady, who has an offensive background. This also means Buffalo's defense will be called by Jim Leonhard in his first DC role in the NFL. Will this shake-up be what was needed to get the Bills over the AFC hump and to the Super Bowl?
New head coach : Joe Brady (promoted from Bills OC)
Acquired WR DJ Moore from the Chicago Bears
Re-signed C Connor McGovern to 4-year, $52 million deal
Signed EDGE Bradley Chubb to 3-year, $45 million deal
Signed S Chauncey Gardner-Johnson to 1-year, $6 million deal
Drafted EDGE T.J. Parker, CB Davison Igbinosun, S Jalon Kilgore
Miami Dolphins
How will new head coach Jeff Hafley approach a rebuild in Year 1?
No NFL team will admit it is in a rebuilding year, but Miami is. The Dolphins have more than $175 million in dead cap this season. To put it in perspective, the Jets are currently spending $184 million this season and the Saints $198 million for their entire active rosters. Hafley spent the last two years as the Packers' defensive coordinator. He is in his first NFL head coaching gig and faces an uphill battle as he tries to make an impact on his new organization while also evaluating the youth on the roster, with a focus on the future.

New England Patriots
Will Drake Maye be protected?
The last time we saw the Patriots, their offensive line was getting brutalized by the Seahawks in the Super Bowl. New England prioritized giving quarterback Drake Maye weapons by signing Romeo Doubs and trading for A.J. Brown, but how much will they matter if Maye doesn't have time for plays to develop? The Pats' biggest offensive line improvements this offseason included signing veteran guard Alijah Vera-Tucker and using their first-round pick on Utah OT Caleb Lomu. Outside of Will Campbell getting healthier this offseason, will these moves be enough to help Maye take fewer hits in the backfield?
Acquired WR A.J. Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles
Signed WR Romeo Doubs to 4-year, $70 million deal
Signed DL Dre'Mont Jones to 3-year, $39.5 million deal
Signed LB K.J. Britt
Signed S Kevin Byard to 1-year, $9 million deal
Drafted OT Caleb Lomu, EDGE Gabe Jacas, TE Eli Raridon
New York Jets
Will Aaron Glenn make it to Year 3?
The defensive-minded Glenn struggled in his first season as head coach. New York finished 3-14, its lowest win total since 2020, and second-lowest win total since 1996. To make matters worse, New York's defense was historically bad. It did not record any interceptions over the course of the season and forced only four total turnovers, the fewest in a season since the AFL/NFL merger. Glenn will have veteran QB Geno Smith under center this year. Expectations for the season are low, but will he be able to turn the franchise around enough in 2026 to still be at the helm in 2027?
Acquired QB Geno Smith from Las Vegas Raiders
Re-signed RB Breece Hall to 3-year, $45.75 million deal
Signed WR Tim Patrick
Signed OG Dylan Parham to 2-year, $20 million deal

Acquired and signed S Minkah Fitzpatrick to 3-year, $40 million deal
Drafted EDGE David Bailey, TE Kenyon Sadiq, WR Omar Cooper Jr.

AFC North
Baltimore Ravens
How will the Ravens handle going from a veteran head coach to a first-time head coach?
John Harbaugh was Baltimore's head coach from 2008-2025. He helped the Ravens win Super Bowl XLVII, but hadn't been back to the Super Bowl since and had made only one AFC championship game (2023 season). Baltimore moved on from Harbaugh and gave ...
