Super Bowl timelines for all 32 NFL teams: Who's in mix, getting closer and years away?
Thirty other NFL teams want to be in the position of the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers one win away from a Super Bowl title and the Vince Lombardi Trophy.Unlike for the Chiefs and Bucs, the biggest obstacle facing many teams in getting to championship contention is at quarterback, a position poised for massive turnover this offseason. For others, it's rebuilding a defense to complement a potent offense. And for an unfortunate few, it's a wholesale talent infusion that's needed to climb back into contention. We asked six NFL analysts when each team could realistically next be considered a Super Bowl contender. That doesn't mean playoff contender or in the mix, but rather when each team could be a serious threat to win a title, based on personnel, trajectory, rebuild timelines and other related factors. Each team has been tiered into one of six distinct time frames, starting with four contenders for the 2021 season's championship. Our NFL Nation reporters dove in with some context around why each team ended up where it did.

Retired NFL star Jason Witten named head coach at Texas HS
Witten, 38, played 16 seasons with the Cowboys and spent 2020 with the Raiders. No tight end in NFL history has played more games than Witten's 271 and only Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez has more receptions and yards at the position.
Green Bay Packers GM on Aaron Rodgers: 'He's our quarterback, and he's our leader'
Rodgers is coming off perhaps his best season with 48 touchdowns and five interceptions. He led the Packers to their second straight 13-3 season and NFC title game appearance in as many years under LaFleur, and he is expected to be named the NFL's MVP for the third time in his career Saturday.

Sources: Carolina Panthers offered No. 8 pick, Teddy Bridgewater for Matthew Stafford
The Panthers offered the eighth overall pick in this year's draft, a fifth-round pick and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to try to land Stafford, sources said.
Sources: Multiple teams reach out to New York Jets about Sam Darnold
They could trade Darnold, 23, use the compensation they get back in return for another quarterback, or draft a quarterback with the second overall pick. All options are being explored and are on the table, per one league source.

32 NFL players who need a change of scenery this offseason: Who needs a fresh start for every team
With the start of 2021 NFL free agency a month away, all 32 teams have looming decisions to make about how their rosters could look next season. That includes players who could use a change of scenery -- free agents, cut candidates and guys who could be traded -- and potentially flourish elsewhere. Will the Super Bowl champions bring back running back Leonard Fournette, who thrived in the postseason for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Are the Chicago Bears officially done with quarterback Mitchell Trubisky? What will the rebuilding Houston Texans do with quarterback Deshaun Watson? And what about Odell Beckham Jr., who is coming off a torn ACL for the Cleveland Browns?

NFL increases 2021 salary cap minimum to $180 million
The NFL has informed teams that the salary cap for the 2021 season will be no less than $180 million, a slight increase from last year's previous agreement between the league and the NFL Players Association. The NFL had a $198.2 million salary cap in 2020, but the league and the NFLPA agreed last summer to a $175 million minimum for 2021, citing revenue shortages related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The league told teams in a memo Thursday that a final salary cap hasn't been determined yet, saying that the new agreement "simply increases the minimum 2021 Salary Cap by $5 million per club, from $175 million to $180 million." Total attendance this past season was 1.2 million, down from 17 million in 2019. Thirteen teams didn't allow fans in the regular season and other clubs limited crowd size to provide social distancing in compliance with health and safety regulations in their state.

Sources: Philadelphia Eagles trade QB Carson Wentz to Indianapolis Colts for two draft picks
Wentz ranked 34th in the NFL in completion percentage (57.4%) and first in interceptions (15) and sacks (50) despite being benched in favor of Hurts for Philadelphia's final four games.
Carson Wentz traded: NFL experts debate and grade the deal for the Eagles and Colts
Wentz will reunite with Colts coach Frank Reich, who was with the Eagles when the quarterback was drafted with the No. 2 overall pick in 2016. Wentz needs to play at least 75% of the Colts' offensive snaps for the 2022 conditional pick to become a first-round pick.
