There’s one game left to play, but the teams who’ll be watching the Super Bowl from home are already busy working on 2025. Dianna Russini, fresh off a reporting trip to Mobile for the Senior Bowl, connects with Chase Daniel about the strategies the Titans might be weighing with the top draft pick, what the Giants are looking for in this year’s quarterback class and what to make of Browns GM Andrew Berry’s comments about Shedeur Sanders and Cleveland. They also look at the coaching search in New Orleans and whether the Saints have any options beyond waiting out the Super Bowl to make a play for Kellen Moore. And they ponder a few questions they already have about the offseason, like whether we’re about to see a Russell Wilson-Pete Carroll reunion in Las Vegas, how much patience Maxx Crosby has left with the Raiders and how the end of the season affected Minnesota’s calculations about re-signing Sam Darnold. Plus, they set the scene for the things they’re most looking forward to when they get to New Orleans for the Chiefs-Eagles matchup.
