NFC East
Dallas Cowboys - Confusing
The Dallas Cowboys are confusing. Mike McCarthy walked out the door, and now Brian Schottenheimer is a head coach, but this is a clear downgrade. The team was also kind of aggressive in free agency but didn't really do anything notable. It's just hard to get a pulse on this team.
Philadelphia Eagles - Champs
The defending Super Bowl champions; the Philadelphia Eagles did lose a lot of talent this offseason and also lost their offensive coordinator to a head coaching job. Nonetheless, they are the champs.
New York Giants - Brutal
The New York Giants are a bad team and also have the hardest schedule in the NFL for 2025. It's just not a great time to be a Giants fan. Some may already be wondering when they will get to see Jaxson Dart, one of their first-round picks.
Washington Commanders - Contenders
The Washington Commanders have what it takes to become contenders in the 2025 NFL Season. They won 14 total games in 2024.
NFC West
San Francisco 49ers - Transitioning
The San Francisco 49ers are clearly in a transition period and might not be ultra-competitive in 2025. However, if they begin to hit on draft picks and just bring in the right, new talent, this team could be back atop the NFL.
Arizona Cardinals - Encouraging
The Arizona Cardinals were 6-4 at one point in the 2024 NFL Season. When you looked at where this team needed to improve, it was their defensive line, and all they did was sign Josh Sweat, Calais Campbell, Dalvin Tomlinson, and draft Walter Nolen.
Watch out for this team in 2025.
Los Angeles Rams - Stable
The stable Los Angeles Rams are well-built and are again set to be a contender, and they have always seemed to be a competitive team in the Sean McVay era.
Seattle Seahawks - Resetting
It is abundantly clear that the Seattle Seahawks are resetting a bit, as many of their former foundational players are simply not there anymore.
