The NFL’s Greatest Roster Holes, Ranked by Division
*AFC East*
Buffalo Bills: *Left Guard*
David Edwards’ exit leaves the Bills with a murky left guard situation. Veteran Austin Corbett and third-year Alec Anderson are options, but Joel Bitonio could be a steal for a title push in Buffalo.
Miami Dolphins: *Safety*
Lonnie Johnson Jr., 30, and Dante Trader Jr. struggle to make an impact at safety. Donovan Wilson, Xavier Woods, Taylor Rapp might join the mix soon if they sign.
New England Patriots: *Cornerback Depth*
Behind starters Christian Gonzalez, Carlton Davis III, Marcus Jones, Kindle Vildor is a sixth-roster member. Charles Woods, Adoree’ Jackson, Rasul Douglas could be backups.
New York Jets: *Wide Receiver*
Omar Cooper Jr., Garrett Wilson’s new partner in crime, but there are no standout receivers on the depth chart yet.
*AFC North*
Cincinnati Bengals: *Quarterback*
Joe Burrow’s injury history and Andy Dalton’s age make for a weak quarterback room. Taylor Heise looks like a potential starter if healthy enough to return from shoulder surgery.
Cleveland Browns: *Offensive Line*
Shoreline’s offensive line is a mess, with only veteran Greg Little standing out at tackle.
Dallas Cowboys: *Tight End*
Dak Prescott’s injury history means the Cowboys have to draft or trade for a reliable tight end.
Denver Broncos: *Running Back*
The Broncos have no clear running back in their rotation. Phillip Lindsay and Jalen Hurd are both underutilized.
*AFC South*
Atlanta Falcons: *Defensive Line*
After losing Takkarist McKinley, the Falcons need to find a high-end edge rusher. Tyreek Hillman is a potential option but has been inconsistent.
Jacksonville Jaguars: *Offensive Line*
The offensive line is a mess with veterans like Cam Robinson struggling and newcomers like James Bradshaw being unproven.
Kansas City Chiefs: *Defensive End*
With Chris Jones’ age creeping up, the Chiefs need to find a reliable replacement. Damar Hamlin seems like an option if he returns from injury.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: *Offensive Line*
No clear offensive line standout with veteran Mike Tomlin and rookie Ryan Swope being inconsistent.
*AFC West*
Los Angeles Chargers: *Quarterback*
After Derek Carr’s departure, the Chargers need to find a reliable quarterback. Justin Herbert was good but didn’t win a ring yet.
Las Vegas Raiders: *Defensive Line*
The defensive line is aging with Maxx Crosby and Alex Carter on their last legs. Shaquil Barrett looks like an option if he can prove himself.
Los Angeles Rams: *Cornerback*
Behind starter Jalen Ramsey, the Rams need a backup in Keanu Neal or Brian Quick.
San Francisco 49ers: *Offensive Line*
The offensive line is aging with veteran Trent Williams and rookie Nick Vannett being inconsistent.
