NFL Power Rankings 2020: Buccaneers, Cardinals rise after first week of free agency
By Dan Parzych
It’s time to take a look at the NFL Power Rankings 2020 now that free agency has officially been underway for a whole week.
Believe it or not, there is plenty to discuss when it comes to the NFL Power Rankings for 2020 since numerous teams made all sorts of key moves already this offseason with free agency already in full swing.
From the Dallas Cowboys using the franchise tag on Dak Prescott to the New Orleans Saints convincing Drew Brees to return for another year, the first week of free agency action has left football fans with plenty to discuss leading up to the draft.
But when it comes to two of the biggest surprises of all, it’s difficult to top what two surprise teams in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Arizona Cardinals managed to pull off.
When looking at everything Tom Brady has done for the New England Patriots over the last 20 years, it almost seemed like a guarantee the future Hall of Famer would be back for another season with Bill Belichick and company.
In a move that no one could have predicted a few months ago, Brady will officially be teaming up with Bruce Arians and the Buccaneers for the 2020 season, leaving most football fans in complete shock.
Never in a million years did Tampa Bay of all teams seem like a potential landing spot for Brady once last season came to an official end, but the veteran will now be playing with an extra chip on his shoulder to show he is still capable of playing on a high level.
Meanwhile, the Cardinals found a way to absolutely rob the Houston Texans in a trade that resulted in DeAndre Hopkins ending up in Arizona to provide Kyler Murray with one of the best receivers in the game to work with entering his sophomore campaign.
No one exactly knows what on earth the Texans were thinking in this trade involving Hopkins since they didn’t even receive a first-round pick in return, but the Cardinals certainly aren’t going to complain over their decision.
