概要

 The 2026 NFL offseason is shaping up to be one of the most dramatic in recent memory, and there's plenty happening that should matter to every football fan out there.

Let's start with the quarterback carousel, because it's absolutely wild right now. According to ESPN's offseason coverage, the Jets are facing a make-or-break situation where neither Justin Fields nor Brady Cook is guaranteed a roster spot after both played poorly in 2025. They're eyeing veterans like Malik Willis, Kirk Cousins, Kyler Murray, and Jacoby Brissett. The Steelers, meanwhile, are wrestling with whether to bring back Aaron Rodgers or draft their next signal-caller entirely. The Ravens need to upgrade Lamar Jackson's supporting cast while dealing with the worst sack rate of his career at 9.8 percent of his dropbacks. And out in Arizona, the Cardinals have until March 16th to decide if they're keeping Kyler Murray, since that's when his 19.5 million dollar base salary becomes guaranteed for 2027.

On the trade front, there's serious speculation about potential blockbuster moves. ESPN reports that teams are wondering whether the Raiders will actually trade defensive end Maxx Crosby, and whether the Eagles will move wide receiver A.J. Brown despite his frustrations with the offense.

Now here's where things get really interesting beyond the field. The NFLPA and the league are locked in a significant battle over transparency. According to Cleveland Browns Community coverage, the NFL sent a memo last week prohibiting teams from publicly releasing the NFLPA's annual workplace report cards, which grade facilities, travel standards, nutrition programs, and overall player treatment. This has sparked major backlash. Retired defensive superstar J.J. Watt and San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle are leading the charge against the decision. However, the NFLPA isn't backing down. ESPN's Brooke Pryor reported that the union sent an email to all players confirming they'll still conduct the surveys and share results directly with franchise owners, even if they can't release them publicly anymore. The union argues that the NFL and its clubs don't want transparency when it comes to how they treat players.

There's also been movement on the coaching front that matters for team trajectories. The Lions hired Drew Petzing as offensive coordinator after missing the playoffs in 2025. The Titans brought in Brian Daboll to help quarterback Cam Ward take the next step, hoping to replicate what Daboll did with Josh Allen. And the Browns hired Todd Monken to fix an offense that ranked dead last in scoring, averaging just 14.5 points per game.

According to The Tribune, the 2026 season will kick off with a record low of just three Black head coaches in the league. This comes as the broader conversation around diversity, equity, and inclusion continues to shift.

Free agency officially opens March 11th at 4 p.m. Eastern, and the draft happens April 23rd. The franchise tag window is open until March 3rd, which gives teams time to make those critical decisions about their own rosters.

For casual fans, here's what matters most: your team's quarterback situation probably needs work, there's going to be some surprising trades, and there's genuine tension brewing between players and ownership over how much say athletes should have in evaluating their working conditions. For die-hard fans, pay attention to salary cap moves, particularly with teams like the Ravens who need to restructure Lamar Jackson's deal to create 25 to 30 million in cap space.
