The bulk of the NFL offseason is behind us, and teams are reconvening for organized team activities (OTAs) as they prepare for the 2024 season.
In fact, the first game of the 2024 season is less than 100 days away. The countdown officially began on Tuesday, with minicamps being held in the next couple of weeks and training camps starting in two months.
As the vast majority of the major moves have already been solidified, “First Things First” host Nick Wright took it upon himself to rank all 32 teams. It’s not a conventional tier ranking though, with Wright giving certain descriptions of the status of teams ahead of the 2024 season.
Let’s take a look at Wright’s tiers, along with the latest Super Bowl LIX odds.

The Patriots are in their second rebuild.”
“Combine the rosters”
Cleveland Browns (11-6; +4000), New Orleans Saints (9-8; +8000) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-8; +5500)
Wright’s thoughts: “The AFC [has] got too many good teams and the NFC [has] not got enough good ones. So, let’s remove the Browns entirely and put them all together in one.
