On today’s episode of The Exempt List, Charles McDonald and The Ringer’s Stephen Lewis break down the best and worst offseasons across the NFL.
They start the show by checking out random quarterback weight fluctuations, specifically Bryce Young, Tua Tagovailoa, and Lamar Jackson.
Then they check out the holdouts of top wide receivers Justin Jefferson and Tee Higgins. They wonder why the Cincinnati Bengals aren’t paying Higgins this much.
McDonald and Lewis then share a list of teams that have had puzzling offseasons, including the Atlanta Falcons, Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars, Detroit Lions, and Denver Broncos.
After the break, they explain why the New York Jets, New England Patriots, Chicago Bears and Kansas Chiefs all made great free agent deals and draft picks to set themselves up for success in 2024.
