Head Coach: Brian Schottenheimer

Head Coach: Kevin Stefanski

2025 Record: 8-9

Key Departures: LB Devin Lloyd, RB Travis Etienne, CB Greg Newsome

Head Coach: Liam Coen

2025 Record: 13-4

The Jaguars won the AFC South in Coen's first year and will shoot for a repeat performance in 2026.

Key Departures: TE Chig Okonkwo, EDGE Arden Key, DK Sevastian Joseph

Head Coach: Robert Saleh

2025 Record: 3-14

The Titans loaded up this offseason as they aim to have a strong first year under Saleh. Tate and Robinson should give last year's No. 1-overall pick Cam Ward more firepower. Meanwhile, Franklin-Myers should help elevate a defense that gave up the fifth-most points per game last year.

New Orleans Saints

Key Additions: WR Jordyn Tyson, RB Travis Etienne, G David Edwards

Key Departures: CB Alontae Taylor, LB Demario Davis, DE Cameron Jordan

Head Coach: Kellen Moore

Head Coach: Todd Bowles

2025 Record: 8-9
