NFL Training Camp 2021 Three questions e

NHL Chicago Blackhawks Jersey Training camps all acro s the NFL are set to open up and there's arguably no division more fascinating than the AFC East. 2020 saw a seismic shakeup with the claiming the division crown for the first time since 1995 while the were knocked off their throne, mi sing out on the postseason for the first time since 2008. This offseason has seen a tremendous amount of movement in the division as well. Both the Patriots and drafted quarterbacks in the first round of the draft while the gave their young QB a couple of pa s-catching weapons via the draft and free agency. Will one of these teams be able to knock off the Bills -- who were able to retain a number of key players -- for top billing in the AFC East? We'll have to wait and find out.In the meantime, here are some of the biggest questions surrounding each team as they're about to open up camp. Who will win the Division? TOP BET Buffalo Odds -1300 Probability 92.9% Miami Odds +950 Probability 9.5% New York (NYJ) Odds +12500 Probability 0.8% New England Odds +15000 Probability 0.7% While the Bills had one of the better offenses in the last year, their running game wasn't exactly prolific. They ranked 20th in the league in total rushing yards as led the unit with 687 yards on the ground on 4.4 yards per carry. With entering his second season in the league, there is optimism that this group could be more lethal as they head into 2021. -- 421 yards rushing in Jordan Oesterle Jersey 2020 -- will naturally also help the ground attack, but having both Singletary and Mo s take jumps this season will go a long way in making this a more complete offense. At times last year, Buffalo seemed to flirt dangerously close with being one-dimensional. is the top dog in Buffalo's secondary, but who will be playing opposite of him? has held that role for the past three seasons, but don't sleep on second-year corner . The 2020 seventh-round pick appeared in five games last year (two starts) and played well during that small sample size. He recorded one interception, defended five pa ses, and allowed opposing quarterbacks to complete just 61.9% of balls thrown in Jackson's direction. This could end up being one of the more intriguing position battles to wrap up the summer in Buffalo. How far will Buffalo go this season? Conference Winner Odds +170 Probability 37% Division Winner Odds -1300 Probability 92.9% Zach Ertz's future in Philadelphia continues to be in a state of flux. In the event that he does get moved, the Bills could make for a logical suitor. Whenever trade rumors surrounding Ertz pop up, Buffalo also as he could provide another pa s-catching weapon for Josh Allen Alexandre Fortin Jersey as the club makes a push for a deep playoff run. Ertz would also fill out the tight end unit -- consisting of , , and -- quite nicely.Clearly the biggest question hovering over Foxborough. While will likely have the inside track at winning the job to begin the year, if first-round rookie impre ses over the course of camp and the preseason, it'll only be a matter of time before Bill Belichick will want to see what the kid has. Again, if both quarterbacks play well over the summer, Newton may win the job by default. That said, Jones impre sing out of the gate should ensure that we see him elevated as the starter sooner rather than later. How far will New England go this season? Conference Winner Odds +5000 Probability 2% Division Winner Odds +15000 Probability 0.7% The Patriots and Gilmore surrounding the team's top corner. Gilmore held out of mandatory minicamp as he searches for an increase in pay for 2021 or a new contract entirely. If they are unable to come to terms on a deal by the start of camp, will that holdout continue? It's certainly po sible. Neverthele s, the Patriots are somewhat painted into a corner with Gilmore, who has more leverage than you may think. The team doesn't exactly have the depth to absorb his lo s and after an offseason of heavy spending it'd seem like those moves would be for nothing if they were to lose Gilmore to help anchor the defense. Both sides should look for a solution before camp, but especially before the start of the season. The third-year receiver , but that doesn't mean he's rescinding his trade request. Harry's agent recently came out . While the team will likely come nowhere close to getting similar compensation for their 2019 first-round pick, sending him out of Foxborough may be the best move for all parties involved. Harry gets his wish of starting fresh with a new team and New England can focus more on the receivers that they will have for the 2021 season and start determining a pecking order with that unit. It's weird to say that this is a make-or-break year for a guy who has just one season under his belt and was taken No. 5 overall in 2020, but it kind of feels that way for Tua Tagovailoa. Miami went out this offseason and put a number of pa s-catching weapons around Tagovailoa in hopes that he'll be able to take a leap in Year 2. While he'll naturally be the team's starter throughout the year, building positive momentum in camp could best set him up for succe s and truly answer the Dolphins' question of whether or not they have their franchise QB. How far will Miami go this season? Chris Chelios Jersey Conference Winner Odds +1100 Probability 8.3% Division Winner Odds +950 Probability 9.5% This sort of builds off of the first question. One of the more enticing aspects of bringing Waddle in with the No. 6 pick for Miami was not only his tremendous talent but also his experience with Tagovailoa, who was his quarterback at Alabama. If Waddle can acclimate to the NFL quickly over the course of camp, that should go a long way in helping Tagovailoa succeed under center. One area of the Dolphins offense that was lacking in 2020 was any sort of downfield threat. With Brent Seabrook Jersey Waddle and now added to this pa sing attack, they should be able to stretch the field, while creating more opportunities underneath. The Dolphins traded up to selectEichenberg in the second round of the draft earlier this offseason, so clearly the organization thinks quite highly of him. That said, is the Notre Dame product able to instill enough confidence in the coaching staff over the summer for him to win the starting right tackle job? He'll likely be given every chance po sible to grab ahold of it and be a Day 1 starter.Ready or not, Wilson will likely be New York's Week 1 starter. In today's NFL, it's much more commonplace for first-round quarterbacks to see the field almost instantly, especially those taken inside the top-five. For the new coaching staff, these next few weeks will be critical in making sure
