Every NFL team will enter the 2024 season looking to win now. But savvy franchises aren’t just focused on the short term: They’re also keeping an eye on the future and preparing for long-term success. So which teams are poised to be among the league’s best in the coming years? In our annual Future Power Rankings, we focused on the next three seasons (2024 to 2026) and compiled the long-term expectations of all 32 clubs.
To do so, we asked our panel of experts—Dan Graziano, Louis Riddick, and Aaron Schatz—to rate each team’s quarterback situation, remaining (non-QB) roster composition, management, and coaching staff using this scale:
After averaging the panelists’ results, each of the four categories was weighted to create the overall score: quarterback (20%), roster (30%), front office (25%), and coaching (25%). The result is a comprehensive ranking based on how each team is positioned for the future. Our experts then selected reasons to be optimistic, reasons to be concerned, and crucial stats/nuggets to know for each franchise.
