Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports Trade Matthew Stafford For Maxx Crosby Davis finished 8th among cornerbacks in total points saved, via SIS, playing in just 14 games. They aren’t receiver-needy, but Jefferson’s speed could make him an enticing addition, in exchange for Michael Davis. The Chargers may be the best trade partner. Stroud and could afford to trade Desmond King to the Rams. The Texans are in a similar situation with C.J. In exchange, the Rams could add Isaiah Rodgers. The Colts just drafted Anthony Richardson and don’t have a deep threat for him to throw to. A few teams would be good trade partners.

The trade wouldn’t fetch a top-tier cornerback, but it could get a very good option.

Flipping Jefferson to one of those teams in exchange for a veteran corner would go a long way to fixing the Rams defense. And there are several teams that are deprived of what he brings to the table. People will yell at me for this but guess what: DOOOOON'T CAAAAAARE.With the Rams unlikely to pay Jefferson, trading him now makes a lot of sense. is the highlight on defense, but the Texans also added a lot of non-flashy veteran guys who could raise the bar for this unit, too. The pass-catchers aren't flashy, but this is the best floor Houston's had in a while there. Team Record: 8-6 Finishing 3rd in the NFLs West Division Coach: George Allen (8-6) Location: Los Angeles, California 1966 Los Angeles Rams Statistics 1966 Los Angeles Rams Results The Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League ended the 1966 season with a record of 8 wins and 6 losses, finishing third in the NFLs West Division. Bobby Slowik is VERY intriguing as a first-year offensive coordinator coming from Kyle Shanahan's system. With Damien Pierce/Devin Singletary and a good offensive line, this team should be able to run. And while I'm not a huge Stroud fan (a sentence that makes me laugh every time I write it, sorry not sorry to my good buddy Dave Stroud) I am a big DeMeco Ryans fan, and I think the Texans are being slept on for their roster improvements this offseason. The Jags are huge favorites to win the division, and rightly so: they have the best roster, and I trust their QB/coach combo. Stroud and Will Levis, respectively - I almost wrote "AFC South Sleeper Team" here, but it felt like too much of a cop out to lobby for three teams. Given all three of the Colts, Texans and Titans used high picks on quarterbacks - drafting Anthony Richardson, C.J. Tiyon Evans is a strong between-the-tackles runner, well-suited for the Rams inside/mid zone scheme.

Washington, Cleveland and Chicago - plus two teams from the AFC South - made the playoffs in 2020, in case you forgot how weird life was back then. NFL backs have to consistently be willing blockers, particularly guys who are on the roster bubble. In 2021, with playoff expansion and the pandemic season behind us, the Patriots, Bengals ( Joe Burrow's second year), Raiders (despite firing Jon Gruden midseason), Cowboys, Eagles, Cardinals and 49ers all made the playoffs after missing the year before. Instead, we need to be diligent about accepting the possibility expanded playoffs could give us expanded variance within the bracket.Įach of the past two seasons, we've seen SEVEN new playoff teams. Playoff expansion, to seven teams on each side of the bracket via an additional wild-card team, means we can't rely on old assumptions. Covid wreaked havoc on everyone, and the NFL was no different. However, things have been different the past several years. Some years less, some years more, but a general gravitation towards five happened at the end of the season. Five is an anecdotal number, a digit roughly ascribed by an old sportswriters' tale, although a generally accepted number with the rational assumption of variance built in. For a very long time the NFL saw, on average, five new teams jump into the postseason each year.
