From my vantage point, it's shaping up to be a three team race in the AFC East. On paper, the New York Jets probably made the biggest strides in the offseason. A healthy Aaron Rodgers is obviously potentially huge for New York, which received awful quarterback play a year ago, but also had one of the better defenses.

The Buffalo Bills still have to be considered the team to beat, but they had some key losses including Stefon Diggs and Jordan Poyer.

The Miami Dolphins lost Christian Wilkins, Robert Hunt and Andrew Van Ginkel, but still could win the division if the team can stay healthier.

Here's a brief look at the offseason for these three teams.


Jets
According to ESPN, the New York Jets' top three free agents in 2024 are:

Yes for good draft position and 2nd place. Phins are AFCE champs this year. Hoist the pennant.

vegas odds would say this is the case. bills o/u is 10.5, 9.5 each for jets and dolphins, although looks like vegas odds shaded to the jets for 2nd if you look at the moneylines, so dolphins third interestingly according to vegas if i read the odds right
 
NE - what if the rookie QB is a sensation?
You can’t count anyone out in May, but a new HC and a rookie QB seem an unlikely combo to finish first. I agree a three team race. Bills the favorites until beaten, we are second and the jets third.
If we can have a better injury free season, some young HC growth with play calling, and speed of play calling I think we could win the division by 2 games.
 
2 team race. Dolphins and Jets. Bills are screwed and won't sniff the playoffs this season.
