NFC is only going to get tougher.

[Agent 10]

Thanks to Washington and their brilliant trade with the Rams the NFC West is going to be unreal.

Seattle obvious
49ers
Rams
Cards
Green Bay
Carolina

Not as easy as winning the East and walking thru a weak west.

True, but at least our division sucks, we have a real chance to win it for the foreseeable future and if our d improves even more, we can hang with playoff teams and have a fighter's chance...so 9-7 or 10-6 will be totally doable again.

Saints.
Falcons have D issues but also had a ton of injuries this year.
Eagles beat down Chicago this year, but they have a lot of offensive talent.
Lions might put something together with a new coach.

Top to bottom, the NFC is a lot deeper than the AFC.

If they take care of business in their own division they'll be fine.

[Agent 10]

I didn't put the Saints cause they are cap strapped. Falcons are a good call though.

[Sect 236]

Serious question, cause I don't know just how cap strapped they are...how different are they really going to look?

I know the Graham situation could get ugly with the franchise if it comes to that, but I can't see him sitting out even if he does get franchised as a TE instead of a WR as he wants.

Other than him, who are they in jeopardy of losing?

OL is in transition again and the Saints are already over the cap
Tough spot and they will keep patching until Brees is done

The bigger concern is that the Saints’ entire line has been in flux for the past few years now. Since 2011, they have replaced their line coach, their left tackle twice, their center twice, and their right tackle and left guard once each.

Now they might need to replace their right tackle and center again, depending on whether they re-sign Strief and center Brian De La Puente.
