Turf Talk — Episode 1: NFC South Division Breakdown
The Division Breakdown series kicks off with the most wide-open division in football. The NFC South has four teams with four completely different storylines: the Falcons hired Matt Ryan as President of Football Ops and signed Tua to a prove-it deal. The Panthers are your defending division champs (at 8-9) and spent $105M guaranteed on Phillips and Lloyd. The Saints reloaded big in free agency but still haven’t solved their QB problem. The Bucs lost Mike Evans for the first time in over a decade.
I break down each team’s offseason — key signings, losses, draft picks, biggest question marks — then rank where I think they finish and call my division winner.
