"To start, our NFL Nation reporters picked out two key offseason priorities for the teams they cover and weighed in on the most interesting coaching situations that bear watching. National reporters Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano laid out early rumblings on one looming free agent decision for each franchise, and draft analysts Matt Miller and Jordan Reid called out one thing to know about each team's 2026 draft outlook."
"Falcons owner Arthur Blank has several decisions to make with the coaching staff and front office. General manager Terry Fontenot has not produced a winning season in five years with the team, while the Falcons regressed in Year 2 under coach Raheem Morris. What is one secondary priority to watch? Figuring out who will play quarterback in Week 1. Michael Penix Jr. tore his ACL in November and will be out at least nine months,"
Ten NFL franchises that missed the postseason enter an offseason focused on roster, coaching and strategic decisions to improve for 2026. Each team must decide which coaches and front-office personnel stay, which players to retain or release, and how to approach looming free-agent choices while planning for the draft. Projected salary-cap space is a factor in roster construction as of Jan. 4. Quarterback availability will drive contingencies for some teams, exemplified by Michael Penix Jr.'s ACL injury affecting Atlanta's Week 1 plans and prompting potential quarterback additions.
