Even the best NFL teams would have something on their Christmas wishlist, so what gift would all 32 franchises want from Santa in 2019?
Christmas is the season of giving, of family, of laughs and love. However, anyone being honest with themselves also loves receiving gifts at this time of year. There is always something that we want to be given to us that will really boost our holiday spirits. And really, it could be said that NFL teams are likely no different.
After 16 weeks of the 2019 NFL season, it’s safe to say that all 32 franchises know what they would want under their tree on Dec. 25 if they could have their wish. Of course, not everyone in the real world can get what they most desire for Christmas and the same holds true for the 32 NFL franchises and their holiday wishes.
However, in a world where even the most extravagant and massive Christmas wishes were granted, here’s what all 32 NFL teams would be asking for this year and would find under the tree, more or less.
We’ll go division-by-division through the NFL Christmas wishlist.
AFC East Christmas Wishlist
Buffalo Bills: Lifetime supply of tables
Under the watch of head coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane, in addition to having Josh Allen at quarterback, it’s clear that the Bills are going to be good for years to come. And as we know, the wild Bills Mafia in Buffalo loves to break some tables, especially when times are good. So get them a lifetime supply because, under this regime, they’re going to need them.
Miami Dolphins: Full recovery for Tua Tagovailoa
From the moment that it was clear that the Dolphins were starting a rebuild, they’ve been linked to Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa as their signal-caller of the future. However, his crushing hip injury called that into question.
As of right now, Tua is expected to make a full recovery and be fine for the long haul. However, the Dolphins — if he’s still their guy — would love to be 100 percent guaranteed that to ensure the success of the franchise for the future.
New England Patriots: 2007 Randy Moss
The shortcomings of the Patriots offense this season have been widely noted, and much of the concern about that unit comes down to the lack of depth at wide receiver beyond Julian Edelman. Wouldn’t they just love to have Randy Moss, who broke one pass-catching record after another when he was with New England? My guess is that the Hall-of-Famer in his prime would answer many of their woes.
New York Jets: Adam Gase’s pink slip
It seems, from all of the buzz that we’ve heard, that the Jets are going to keep Adam Gase around. While you could still question while they brought him to New York in the first place, the 2019 season has proven that he shouldn’t be long for the Big Apple. He’s a con man that lives off past successes that are overblown. He has never truly built anything and lacks all accountability, which is looking like the case again with the Jets.
