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

With Drew Brees heading off into the sunset, things will be different for the New Orleans Saints. It’s also really confusing what their plan is without him. They gave Taysom Hill a weird contract that is apparently completely voidable which makes less sense than the fact that they signed Jameis Winston right after giving Hill a deal that made him look like the starter.

For a team that’s always in cap hell, this felt like the perfect year to let Hill see what he could do while eating as much of the dead cap space as they could. Instead, they created more and released many of their starters.

This will be the biggest test ever for Sean Payton and while he’s one of the greatest coaches ever, this feels like it’s going to be a rough year in New Orleans.

2020 was a good season for the Tennessee Titans but they now have to figure out how to replace Corey Davis following a breakout campaign. They also lost offensive coordinator Arthur Smith who will be the head coach for the Atlanta Falcons.

With him gone, there will be questions about whether or not Ryan Tannehill will continue to shine. They also have to get their secondary figured out after moving on from Adoreé Jackson and Malcolm Butler. All their moves were understandable but they don’t make them better in 2021.
