Everyone is sad that the NFL season is done because there are no games to watch and no fantasy football contests or games to win until September of 2021. The good news is that it does not take long for the league to create intrigue about the 2021 season. Free agency begins on March 17, which is just a month after the Super Bowl. The NFL does a great job of breaking up the offseason calendar to keep the league in the headlines and keep fans engaged about changes that are happening to the rosters. It creates a lot of excitement that builds until we are back to live games.
Raiders have a bit of a mess on their hands. By RaiderCode on Feb 14, 2021, 11:01am PST +
There are so many issues to deal with this offseason. Raiders have roster issues on multiple levels. They haven t added enough young talent to this roster over the last 3 years. They have squandered so much draft capital. Seemingly wasted 4 of 5 first round picks on mediocre players. And 6 additional picks on wasted WR trades. And countless other bad picks like PJ Hall and Brandon Parker.
The offseason is going to be a tough one.
The cap is going down for the first time ever. No one knows by how much but it will affect the Raiders roster regardless. They went all-in the last 2 offseasons and made several big money FA signings, none of which worked out. They are currently $10M over the cap by the latest estimates of a $188M adjusted cap per Spotrac.

Buffalo, N.Y. The Buffalo Bills hold the no. 30 pick in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft after winning 15 games before losing in the AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
If the Bills make that selection at no. 30 it’ll be the latest the team has picked in a draft in franchise history going back to 1966. Buffalo owns seven picks in this year’s draft but are currently without a fourth-round selection because that pick went to the Minnesota Vikings in the Stefon Diggs trade last offseason.

The Rams Never Have First-Round Picks, So What?

The Los Angeles Rams traded Jared Goff and some picks for Matthew Stafford. They now have no first-round picks until 2024. That sounds crazy, but what if it doesn t matter?
The Rams are in a good, competitive division that has sent three different teams to the Super Bowl in the last decade. If they don t care about dead money and the salary cap, well, that s a good thing. The Rams haven t had a first-round pick since 2016 when they selected Goff. It seems universally accepted that Matthew Stafford is a superior quarterback to Jared Goff. Now they have Stafford on a reasonable contract for the next two seasons, while he s still in his early thirties. Combined with Goff s dead salary, that s basically what the Steelers are going to pay Ben Roethlisberger.
