Summary

The Miami Dolphins got the NFL offseason going with three cuts to key players like Tyreek Hill, Bradley Chubb and James Daniels. They will likely follow that up with a trade of Tua Tagavailoa. This, along with changes at head coach and general manager, likely signal a down season is coming in Miami and that is the right move. The Denver Broncos could also be looking at a step back in 2026. The New Orleans Saints finished the 2025 season with a lot of promise and seem like a prime candidate to go from worst to first next season. The Arizona Cardinals are another team that has nowhere to go but up in 2026. However, teams like the Los Angeles Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers are likely to stay in a similar boat in their next season as not much is changing.
