NFL buying vs selling this offseason

With the NFL beginning their offseason this week we officially have teams and players starting to really make some buzz about either being traded, released or franchise tagged. Every year we have teams that are heavy buyers during the off-season and heavy sellers during the offseason, let’s go through my top 3 teams for each buying and selling and why I think they should do so.

Buyers

Chicago Bears

        The Chicago Bears have by far the best opportunity to improve their roster this offseason with by far the most cap space in the NFL and the number one overall pick in this year’s draft. With the Bears offloading lots of high salaries and having a quarterback on a rookie contract this Chicago roster could look very different heading into next season.

Kansas City Chiefs 

        Even though most wouldn’t consider the Chiefs to be heavy buyers this offseason I do believe they will be as they may not sign the big splashy players but they’ll sign lots of mid tier players on cheaper contracts who’ll look to make a late career push to get a ring, the Chiefs also have lots of cap space compared to other teams thanks to the amount of rookies on defense and cheap star players right now.

New York Giants 

        The New York Giants could have one of the better off seasons as they have a significant amount of draft capital and cap space, the Giants are coming off a very impressive year as they have overachieved by making the playoffs and winning a playoff game. 

Sellers

Baltimore Ravens 

        One of the biggest stories going into this offseason is the Baltimore Ravens who I believe are going to be big sellers as they move off superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson and move many of their star players to retool this Ravens team for the future and look to become a title contender again.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 

        The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to be huge sellers as they are fifty million dollars over the cap going into next season. With this Bucs team losing hall of fame quarterback Tom Brady to retirement, this Bucs team could look completely different heading into next season. 

Arizona Cardinals 

The Arizona Cardinals are one of those go either way teams as they do need to move off some old and expensive players like Deandre Hopkins, James Connor and Budda Baker, but with a whole new regime this Cardinals team could go either way with retooling the team around star quarterback Kyler Murray.
