Welcome to the Athletic Football Show.

I'm Robert Mays.

The last of our buy or sell offseason shows is here.

We broke up the teams and do four different categories, essentially based on 20, 25 expectations, really driven by like Vegas over unders.

We did the rebuilding teams.

We did the middle class teams.

We did the playoff hopefuls. And today, it did the rebuilding teams. We did the middle class teams. We did the playoff

hopefuls. And today, it is the contenders with me and Derek Klass. And highly encourage you guys to go

check out those other three shows. If you have not, pretty much everything we said on them

holds up. But this is the headline grabbing one. These are the teams at the top of the board.

And very excited to dig into

what we thought of their off-seasons with Derek right now.

Here it is. The fourth and final edition of our buy or sell off-season series. We are hitting

the contenders today. Derek, I love doing this. I was talking to my wife about this this morning when I was prepping for the show. I'm like, you know what? I actually really love these. And as long as I do this show, I think we'll continue to do them. I think it's a really good exercise just to look holistically at every single one of these teams and what they did and how all the pieces fit together. And today we're hitting the best teams in the league, the teams that we think

are legitimate Super Bowl contenders and have legitimate Super Bowl aspirations heading into

2025. Again, based on the Vegas odds. I want to be clear about that. If your team is not on

here, it's not my

problem. And I honestly like doing it this way because obviously we've been doing this for a long time.

I've done, you know, the season previews for a long time now. And like, I kind of like climbing the

ladder this way as opposed to doing it division by division. And we'll do division by division

stuff later in the offseason,

but like being able to climb the ladder from teams that just picked first overall to teams that just won the Super Bowl, I think is a more, it's almost a more fulfilling way to do it, a more instructive way to do it. Yeah, I think we did it the right way and we're hitting the big ones today. Let's get started. I'll start with the Los Angeles Rams. For all of these teams, we've quickly run through what they've done this offseason before landing on a verdict of some kind. With the Rams, Nick Cayley out as the tight ends coach. He's now the OC in Houston. They actually brought in the Seahawks O' line coach from last year as the tight ends coach, which I didn't know until I was looking at their staff. Retained Matthew Stafford on an extension. retained a lyric Jackson on Jackson on an extension. Devante Adams in free agency, two years, 44,000, 26 guaranteed, brought in Puna Ford, three years, 28 million. Retained Tutu Atwell on a one year, $10 million. This is the one year free agent wide receiver contract of the year type of deal, the same one that Diami Brown got. Coleman Shelton back on a two-year depth deal. And then the last one I'll say is TK on Jalen Ramsey. That's something that it seems like it's in the works and it may happen here soon. But worth mentioning, it may happen before you guys even hear this. So just something to keep an eye on. Draft, Terrence Ferguson tight end in the second round, They picked up a 26 first to move out of the first round with Atlanta, which was a huge move. Josiah Stewart
