The 6 best (and worst) NFL offseason plans so far: Rams, Steelers, Patriots & more
Subscribe to Football 301 with Nate Tice Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube Nate Tice and Matt Harmon join forces to buy & sell NFL teams and their offseason plans so far. The guys start with their reactions to the Seattle Seahawks’ massive extension for Jaxon Smith-Njigba and what it means for the wide receiver market (and Puka Nacua's future bank account) before diving into the offseason plans they are officially "buying," including Matt’s belief in the Denver Broncos after their franchise-altering trade for Jaylen Waddle, and in the Washington Commanders for their savvy signings. Nate breaks down why the New England Patriots’ "middle class" roster construction is working, specifically looking at the improved wide receiver room featuring Romeo Doubs, and why the Los Angeles Rams’ focus on a few impact moves was the right call.
Matt is selling the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their sideways moves, while Nate is tired of the Pittsburgh Steelers running back the same mediocre plan year after year. The two hosts wrap up with their biggest remaining questions of the offseason: Matt wonders if the Baltimore Ravens are done adding on offense, while Nate names the Chicago Bears and Jacksonville Jaguars as teams that need to nail this year’s draft class.
