Each NFL team's offseason is filled with small moves and marginal personnel decisions. Sometimes, that series of small moves will build a winner. But a big, bold move -- like a trade or a high draft pick -- can dramatically improve talent at an important position or change the overall direction of the franchise.
Below, I suggest a bold move for each team to make this offseason. Some of these are realistic and others are more far-fetched, but each would provide a significant change. What should the Bears do with Justin Fields? And which teams should trade for Fields? Which teams should trade their high draft pick for more picks and players? Where should the top free agents sign? Who should fire their head coach? All of these and more are included.
Moves are suggested for each team independently of the moves suggested for other teams, which is why you might see certain players suggested as trade or free agency targets for multiple franchises.
And as always, I use my DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average) metric, which takes every play during the season and compares it to a baseline adjusted for situation and opponent. It is explained further here.
