Don’t tell their Mafia this, but the Buffalo Bills might be the third-best team in the AFC East in 2024.
The Miami Dolphins, even with their purge on defense, have salvaged a productive free agency after falling a win short of the division crown this year.
And the New York Jets — yes, those New York Jets — have had an excellent offseason that puts them in position to capture the AFC East for just the fifth time ever.
Where Will Miami Dolphins Land in AFC East?
As we discuss at length in our latest PFN Miami Dolphins Podcast, the Jets have made the biggest improvement this young offseason of any AFC East team.
And that doesn’t even account for the expected return of Aaron Rodgers, who missed all but one drive of the 2023 season with an Achilles’ tear.
Here’s a look at the roster moves of all four AFC East teams through the first eight days of the league’s new year.
