1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

They have established an elite level offense. Now they need their defense to match the output that QB Baker Mayfield and company can produce.

2. Atlanta Falcons

It’s not everyday that a franchise has a backup quarterback that is making over twice as much as the starting quarterback.

3. Carolina Panthers

Progress was made last season and with that there is optimism for this franchise going forward.

4. New Orleans Saints

Will Spencer Rattler or Tyler Shough really be the long term answer at quarterback for them?
