The NFL offseason has arrived for 18 teams. What must each do to have a better season in 2026? We have outlooks, early buzz and predictions.

The NFL playoffs picture will be determined by the end of Sunday's Week 18 action but for some teams on the outside of the postseason picture, their focus is on the upcoming offseason and the impending free agents available to them.

Indianapolis, sensing an open path in the AFC, traded two first-round draft picks for Sauce Gardner. The Colts did not win a game after that. Jones had dealt with a fracture in his leg and then tore his Achilles in Week 14. Gardner missed time, as did Charvarious Ward at the other corner spot.

A new 2026 NFL mock draft has the Dallas Cowboys putting a strong focus on defense, adding two immediate difference makers.

Only one week remains in the 2025 NFL regular season. In a matter of days, 14 teams will begin preparations for the postseason, while the rest of the league will officially turn its attention to the offseason.
