![]() ![]() Besides Waller and Hyatt the Giants didn’t add any impactful weapons for Daniel Jones to throw to. In addition to Waller, the Giants drafted Tennessee WR Jalin Hyatt in the 3rd round of the past draft. This is partially due to a rough injury history which includes missing 14 games in the last two seasons. The former sixth round pick is coming off his worst season since breaking out in 2019. The biggest new acquisition for New York was trading a 2023 3rd round pick to the Raiders for Pro Bowl tight end Darren Waller. Over the last few weeks it has become clear that Barkley is currently unhappy with his current contract situation, which could spread into the season. After extending Jones long-term, the franchise tag was placed on Barkley. One of GM Joe Schoen’s top priorities this offseason was retaining both Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley. Brian Daboll, in his first year as an NFL head coach, took a team many thought would be bottom ten in the league to the playoffs where they even advanced to the second round. The New York Giants were one of the surprise teams of 2022. Even though Washington spent a good amount of capital on their offensive line, it still could be their kryptonite next season, especially with a young inexperienced quarterback under center. These additions along with rookie center Ricky Stromberg and guard Braedon Daniels will look to improve the offensive line in 2023. During free agency, assistant head coach and offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy brought former Kansas City right tackle Andre Wylie and former Giant center Nick Gates. In 2022, the Commanders were ranked 28th in yards per rush, a major decrease from prior seasons. The real question mark with this team surrounds the offensive line. And the defensive line is getting back a fully healthy Chase Young who will be rejoining a line that was top 15 in sacks last season. Brian Robinson impressed after coming back from getting shot in the leg in August. Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson could be considered one of the most underrated wide receiver duos in the NFL. Beyond the quarterback position, this roster, on paper, is a playoff caliber team. Sam Howell will look to rise to the occasion and be that franchise quarterback that Ron Rivera has been searching for ever since becoming Washington’s head coach three seasons ago. The Commanders enter the 2023 season with a new week one starting quarterback for the seventh straight year. ![]() It is going to be hard for this team to keep up with Dallas and we will see them fail to become back to back division champions. ![]() ![]() They had arguably the best defense in football last season and losing their coordinator and Gardner-Johnson could cause setbacks for the team. These hits are hard for the Eagles and could set them back significantly. Gardner-Johnson, and watched both coordinators leave for head coaching jobs. They downgraded from Miles Sanders to D’Andre Swift, lost C.J. The Eagles are consistently making moves to make this team better and should look to compete in the NFC again this season. They were able to land Kelee Ringo on day three and trade for D’Andre Swift from the Detroit Lions. However, those weren’t the only Georgia boys they walked away with. Philly was able to steal Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith in the same night to add to their already scary defense. Draft week was a great time to be an Eagles fan as we watched Howie Roseman manage to have the best draft of the year. The reigning NFC champions are coming into the new season with some new guys expected to be stars. Dallas is a tough team already and blows that the Eagles have taken will hold them back allowing the Cowboys to walk away with the division title. They shed off Kellen Moore and changed their offensive scheme which will allow Prescott to flourish more in the passing game. There hasn’t been a back to back champion since 2004 and I don’t see it happening now. On top of roster improvement, the NFC East shakes up every season. Overall the Cowboys just needed to improve their team to win more games. They also filled a big hole in the interior defensive line by adding Mazi Smith in the draft. They fixed a secondary that needed a star by adding Stephon Gilmore and excelled their wide receiver room by trading for Brandin Cooks. There were still holes in this deep Cowboys roster but, for what feels like the first time in years, Jerry Jones addressed them in free agency. The team played lights out at the end of the season seeing Dak Prescott and the offense top the charts in most stats while the defense continued to play like one of the best in the league. Last season resulted in a second straight 12-5 season for the Dallas Cowboys and a second straight playoff exit at the hands of the 49ers. ![]()
