NFL Offseason Power Rankings: Where All 32 Teams Stand After the Seahawks' Super Bowl Triumph
The 2025-26 NFL season is officially in the books, and it ends with a twist few saw coming: Sam Darnold and the Seattle Seahawks hoisting the Lombardi Trophy after a gritty Super Bowl win over the New England Patriots. For a team that entered the year with more questions than answers, Seattle didn’t just survive a season of transition - they thrived in it.
Now, the offseason has arrived with the usual flurry of coaching changes, quarterback uncertainty, and front offices gearing up for free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft. Ten teams have already swapped out their head coaches, and the rest of the league is deep into evaluations, cap management, and roster reshaping.
With the Super Bowl in the rearview and the offseason fully underway, it's time to take a look at where all 32 teams stand in our first post-Super Bowl power rankings.
32. Arizona Cardinals
It’s hard to find stability when everything around you is in flux - and that’s exactly where the Cardinals find themselves. While they weren’t technically the last team to fill their head coaching vacancy this offseason, the timing of Klint Kubiak's hire was delayed only because of his Super Bowl obligations with the Raiders.
The bigger concern lies in the foundation of the franchise: ownership uncertainty, a quarterback situation that still feels unresolved, and a roster that’s simply not ready to go toe-to-toe with the rest of the NFC West. There’s talent in spots, but the rebuild is still very much in its early stages.
31. New York Jets
The Jets have the draft capital - multiple first-rounders and plenty of ammo - but the big question remains: can they find their quarterback of the future in this class? That’s no small ask, especially in a year where the top QB prospects aren’t viewed as surefire franchise guys.
Unless someone unexpectedly rises through the pre-draft process, New York may need to pivot toward a veteran who can at least raise the floor while they continue to build. The defense has pieces, and the offensive line is improving, but without a steady hand under center, this team remains stuck in neutral.
30. Atlanta Falcons
There’s no sugarcoating it - the Falcons are in a tough spot. Their presumed franchise quarterback is dealing with injury, Kyle Pitts is set to hit free agency, and James Pearce Jr., one of the brightest young stars on defense, is facing serious off-field issues.
That’s a lot for new head coach Kevin Stefanski to navigate in Year 1. The talent isn’t barren, but the timeline to contention may need to be reset.
Atlanta could be looking at a step back before they can move forward, especially if they’re forced to hit the reset button at multiple key positions.
29. Cleveland Browns
Cleveland’s offense is in disarray. The offensive line needs a revamp, the receiver room is thin, and there’s no clear answer at quarterback.
That’s a tough combination in a league where offensive efficiency is king. The silver lining?
The Browns' defense is still a force. With elite talent at every level, the defense gives them a fighting chance most Sundays.
But unless the front office nails this offseason - particularly on the offensive side - Todd Monken’s unit could be stuck carrying too much of the load again in 2026. The blueprint is there, but the execution has to follow.
