PFT's 2024 Pre-Camp Power Rankings

It's never too early for a meaningless list of the NFL's 32 teams.

www.nbcsports.com

These rankings are not a prediction of how teams will finish the 2024 season. Instead, the following list is a snapshot of where the NFL’s teams currently are. (Will that stop people from interpreting these ranking as a prediction of how teams will finish the 2024 season? Nope.)

30. Cardinals: Let’s see what they can do with a healthy Kyler Murray.

Report: Jeff Bezos wasn't blocked from buying Commanders; he was outbid

The connection between Amazon gazillionaire Jeff Bezos and Washington has become a focal point in recent days, given the financial struggles and controversies of the major newspaper Bezos owns there.

www.nbcsports.com

In painting the picture of the Bezos Beltway struggles, the Financial Times adds this nugget. He wasn’t blocked from buying the Commander by former owner Daniel Snyder. Bezos was “simply outbid” by Josh Harris and his $6.05 billion.

“I don’t think Snyder would have not sold to them if Jeff came in with a bid of $7 [billion],” an unnamed source involved in the process told the Financial Times.

Even if Snyder is as petty as some believe, he surely wasn’t going to turn down a pile of cash in order to make a point. My own belief has always been that, if Bezos is going to spend big on an NFL team, why buy one with a damaged brand and a name that might need to be changed (again) and an outdated stadium that literally has rained raw sewage on customers?

He should wait for the Seahawks to be put on the market. Or any other team that doesn’t need to recuperate from the self-inflicted wounds of the former boss

I say this every year but then forget about it. I want to see how the various experts rank all 32 teams in the PS and then see how they rank them in December. When they are way off, they usually say that certain players had a great or terrible year, and that is why the rankings were off. I'm still waiting for one or more to write..........

..........I guess I don't know much about FB, but I'll try to do better next year. And then rank the so called experts on how they did in ranking the teams.

In Sunday Ticket trial rebuttal case, plaintiffs tried to minimize practical impact of NFL loss

If NFL loses this case, the league surely won't collapse.

This owner, Shahid Khan, needs to buy the coyotes.

This owner, Shahid Khan, needs to buy the coyotes.

It's a little late for that now, eh??

It's a little late for that now, eh??

I think that if a real owner called up the NHL, they'd listen. I think it's pretty obvious that Bettman and everybody else wanted Muerelo out of the league.

Patrick Peterson wonders why so many "high-caliber" DBs are free agents

Patrick Peterson said earlier this year that he thinks he has a lot left in the tank, but no team has moved to sign the veteran defensive back since he was released by the Steelers in March.

www.nbcsports.com

Patrick Peterson said earlier this year that he thinks he has a lot left in the tank, but no team has moved to sign the veteran defensive back since he was released by the Steelers in March.

During an episode of his All Things Covered podcast, Peterson said he’ll “definitely be ready” if he gets a call to join a team for training camp before noting that he’s not the only pedigreed defensive back still looking for a deal. Peterson and co-host Bryant McFadden mentioned cornerbacks Xavien Howard and Stephon Gilmore are unsigned and safeties like Justin Simmons and Quandre Diggs are also free agents.

“What do you think it is about the corners and the safety market at this day and age?” Peterson asked. “We know it’s a passing league, right? Why do you see so many high-caliber guys who’ve played at a high level — defensive backs — still free agents right now?”

McFadden noted the NFL rule that veteran salaries are guaranteed for the entire season if players are on a roster for Week One as a possible reason why Peterson and others have not found homes this offseason. Injuries or other developments in camp could also change that outlook and open doors for some recognizable faces to land in new places by September.
