The 2024 NFL free agency has been nothing but crazy. Teams have turned their rosters around and big-name stars are headed to a new home. As we get to the end of the free agency frenzy, here are my current power rankings for the upcoming season.
2024 NFL Power Rankings: Post Free Agency
1. Kansas City Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs are near unstoppable. They have the best quarterback in the world (Patrick Mahomes) and will enter the upcoming season with almost the same roster as the previous – super bowl winning team. The Chiefs did lose L’Jarius Sneed, but luckily re-signed Chris Jones to a huge contract. They also added Marquise Brown to help out the receiving core.
2. San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers are the defending NFC champs and are bringing back a very similar roster in the 2024 season. They did not do too much in this year’s free agency. However, they did not need to. They already have one of the best offenses and defenses in the league. The 49ers did decide to replace their defensive coordinator, welcoming Nick Sorensen to the head defensive coordinator position.
3. Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens had a pretty big free agency. They lost a handful of starters to free agency, but also picked up star running back Derrick Henry from the Titans. They still have Lamar Jackson and one of the most well-rounded offenses throughout the league. They will remain a super competitive and dangerous team next season.
4. Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions really stood out as a top team in the 2023 NFL season. The one thing that we caught onto was their struggling pass defense. However, this offseason they added secondary help of Carlton Davis and Amik Robertson. They also added defensive tackle D.J. Reader who will help out on the inside. They will still have their dangerous offense this upcoming season, but only time will tell how this new defense will workout.
5. Houston Texans
The Texans had a very solid free agency. They didn’t do too much, and got exactly what they needed to up their game. They picked up edge rusher Danielle Hunter and traded for running back Joe Mixon. C.J Stroud is still super young and his potential is only growing from here. This team has an incredibly bright future and may be a top contender in the 2024 NFL season.
