Post-free agency 2021 NFL Power Rankings: Browns on rise, Raiders cratering

After making the AFC Championship Game in 2020, the Buffalo Bills proved they’re a team on the rise. They improved tremendously thanks to the steps made by Josh Allen and now, added another weapon for him with Emmanuel Sanders who joins Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley.

On defense, they kept Matt Milano which didn’t seem to be a guarantee by any means. They can still use some more help in the secondary but as it stands now, this is a team that should still be favored to win the AFC East and could be the only one in the conference capable of contending with the Kansas City Chiefs.

We follow up the AFC runner-up with the NFC runner-up as the Green Bay Packers come in at No. 3. The champions of the NFC North, the Packers fell to the Tamps Bay Buccaneers who ended up winning it all, but there’s no denying that Green Bay is a team that can win the Super Bowl with the roster they have.

They do still need to improve at wideout opposite Davante Adams and their confusing 2020 draft was even more head-scratching when they elected to re-sign Aaron Jones to a massive contract despite drafting A.J. Dillon in Round 2.

It’s also confusing that they paid Jones with how often running backs don’t live up to their second contracts but the fact is Jones can still help them win and with Aaron Rodgers getting into his late 30s, they may be more concerned with the next season or two than what the contract will look like in the second half.
