Assessing all 32 clubs after the draft, free agency and schedule release
The 2023 NFL season is officially on the books. The league announced its full 272-game schedule on Thursday, starting the countdown for the kickoff of another race to the Lombardi Trophy. All 32 teams still have OTAs and training camp to sort through position battles, but for the most part, we've got a good sense of how clubs have changed -- for better or worse -- since the end of last season.

The new regime is committed to a slow build. New coach Jonathan Gannon and general manager Monti Ossenfort may have had no choice but to embrace quarterback Kyler Murray's restrictively large contract, but in doing so, they've all but postponed hopes of true competition until 2024, what with Murray coming off a serious injury and an aging and/or battered supporting cast. Gannon's defense is also mostly devoid of building blocks.
