New York Giants: TE Darren Waller

It was a comeback year for Big who returned to the playoffs for the first time since 2016. NFL Coach of the Year Brian Daboll got a big season from running back Saquon Barkley, while quarterback Daniel Jones cut back on his mistakes. The latter signed a new contract this offseason and should also benefit from the addition of effective tight end Darren Waller, acquired via trade from the Raiders for a third-round pick.

New York Jets: QB Aaron Rodgers

Many of the club’s offensive problems in recent years can be traced to instability at quarterback. In 2021, the team used the second overall pick on BYU’s Zach Wilson. He’s been underwhelming in two seasons so general manager Joe Douglas pulled the trigger on acquiring veteran signal-caller Aaron Rodgers. He threw “just” 26 TD passes this past season. Meanwhile, the Jets’ offense scored 28 touchdowns in 2022.

Philadelphia Eagles: DT Jalen Carter

The defending NFC champions lost both their offensive and defensive coordinators to head-coaching jobs, as well as their share of solid performers on both sides of the ball. Defensive tackle Javon Hargrave inked a deal with the 49ers. This past season, the Eagles knew how to corral quarterbacks (70 sacks), but were so-so vs. the run. First-round pick Jalen Carter (Georgia) could be a force up the middle with Fletcher Cox.
