A Year 1 playoff bid wouldn't be crazy.He and Young are sort of a package deal here. While the QB would've been a worthwhile top pick even without Reich taking over the staff, the fact they're working together makes Carolina all the more intriguing. Though he managed just a single playoff victory as the ' head man from 2018 into 2022, Reich is as even-keeled as they come, making him an ideal mentor for the new signal-caller. He should have an ascending Panthers roster competitive right out of the gate. Kobe Bryant Jersey It feels almost like a stock answer to highlight Payton as a difference-making acquisition. In fact, we're almost hesitant to crown him Denver's savior, considering his regular-season dominance rarely translated to postseason triumph late in his tenure.

Gardner-Johnson is the definition of a feisty player, embracing the opportunity to antagonize while ball-hawking from multiple spots. While he may be a one-year rental, he proved with Philly he can be a game-changer, and he fits the Lions like a glove. Call it the discount duo. Instead of paying Max Muncy Jersey to return as their starting ball-carrier, the reigning NFC champions took Swift off the Lions' hands and inked Penny to a one-year, prove-it deal in free agency. Neither veteran has been especially healthy throughout his career, but both have flashed elite breakaway ability. In tandem, alongside and returning backs and Kenny Gainwell, they have a real path to efficient, explosive production in Philadelphia.It's debatable whether San Francisco needed to break the bank for another defensive lineman, with already headlining their front off the edge.
