Biggest questions for all 32 NFL teams: Contract situations, QB conundrums and more

It’s that time of year again. Training camps will officially get underway for all 32 NFL teams this week.

A total of 30 teams have scheduled joint practices with other teams during training camp. Of those 30, the Buffalo Bills, Dallas Cowboys, Indianapolis Colts, Kansas City Chiefs, Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Rams, New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers all will spend the duration of training camp away from their facilities.

There are several lingering questions swirling over every NFL team at this point in the calendar. USA TODAY Sports provides the biggest question for all 32 teams as they report to training camp.

Arizona Cardinals

Kyler Murray played in eight games last season coming off a knee injury. Murray’s performance almost two years removed from a knee injury is a major question. But what kind of impact will Marvin Harrison Jr. have in his rookie season? That's what’s being talked about most in the desert.

Atlanta Falcons

With Michael Penix Jr. waiting in the wings, can Kirk Cousins help get the Falcons over the hump and give Atlanta its first NFC South title since 2016?

Baltimore Ravens

Even at 30 years old, Derrick Henry is the best running back Lamar Jackson has ever played with. Can Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken effectively construct an offensive attack that will put Henry, Jackson and the Ravens offense in the best positions to succeed?

Buffalo Bills

The Bills offloaded multiple veterans such as safety Jordan Poyer and center Mitch Morse in order to become cap compliant. But the biggest move was when the franchise decided to trade four-time Pro Bowler Stefon Diggs. Josh Allen has a lot of pressure on him with a new cast of pass catchers, including rookie Keon Coleman. Is Allen game for the challenge?

Carolina Panthers

Can new head coach Dave Canales and his staff get Bryce Young and the Panthers on track? Carolina had the worst offense in all of football during Young’s rookie campaign.

Chicago Bears

Did the Bears make the right decision by exiling Justin Fields in favor of rookie QB Caleb Williams? The Bears traded for veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen and drafted wideout Rome Odunze to help with Williams’ transition.

Cincinnati Bengals

Can the Bengals keep Joe Burrow healthy and upright in what will likely be Tee Higgins’ final year in Cincinnati? The Bengals have prioritized Ja’Marr Chase’s contract extension over Higgins. As a result, Higgins is set to play this year under the franchise tag.

Cleveland Browns

Is Deshaun Watson ever going to regain his Pro Bowl-level form? In 12 games as a Browns QB, Watson’s completion percentage (59.8%), yards per game (184.8) and passer rating (81.7) are all well below his marks in four seasons in Houston.

Dallas Cowboys

Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons are all eligible for contract extensions. Is Jerry Jones going to back up the Brinks trucks? Complicating matters, the Cowboys have just over $12 million in salary cap space, per Over The Cap.

Denver Broncos

Can Sean Payton rebuild the Broncos with rookie Bo Nix at quarterback? The Broncos haven’t made the playoffs since Peyton Manning was behind center.

Detroit Lions

The Lions ended the NFL’s longest playoff win drought last season. Now how will the Lions perform with expectations roaring right back at them?

Green Bay Packers

Jordan Love passed for 4,159 yards and 32 touchdowns to just 11 interceptions in his first full regular season as a starter. Can Love, who is in the final year of his contract, and the Packers build off a 2023 season in which they advanced all the way to the divisional round of the playoffs?

Houston Texans

C. J. Stroud paced all rookies in every major passing category last season and won NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. What will Stroud do for an encore? The Texans are equipped with more offensive firepower with the additions of Stefon Diggs and Joe Mixon.  

Indianapolis Colts

A shoulder injury cut short Anthony Richardson’s promising rookie season. Colts GM Chris Ballard said Richardson will be ready for training camp. Richardson’s health and availability is the biggest question surrounding the Colts.

Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars lost five of their last six games and found themselves on the outside looking in of the playoffs last year. During the offseason, the Jags signed Trevor Lawrence five-year, $275 million extension. But the biggest question is if Doug Pederson’s club can perform on a consistent basis as training camp opens.

Kansas City Chiefs

Rashee Rice’s possible suspension for off-field incidents during the offseason has cast a cloud over the early portion of Kansas City’s title defense. The Chiefs are attempting to be the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls. But Rice’s uncertain status to begin the season is the biggest question mark as the Chiefs enter camp.

Las Vegas Raiders

Who is going to win the Raiders’ quarterback battle between incumbent starter Aidan O'Connell and journeyman Gardner Minshew? Training camp and preseason games will paint a clearer picture.

Los Angeles Chargers

Jim Harbaugh established a winning culture at all his stops. Harbaugh’s fresh off a national championship at Michigan. Can Harbaugh at the helm turn the Chargers around? The Chargers haven’t won the AFC West since 2009 and have just one Super Bowl appearance in franchise history.

Los Angeles Rams

How will the entire Rams organization adjust to life without recently retired Aaron Donald? The Rams defense was built around Donald as a disruptive force at defensive tackle. Donald’s void won’t be filled in Year 1, but it’s not a coincidence the Rams used their first two picks in this year’s draft on edge rusher Jared Verse and DT Braden Fiske.

Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins claim Tua Tagovailoa is their quarterback of the present and future. Will the Dolphins prove it by opening up their wallet? Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert and Tagovailoa were the lone quarterbacks drafted in the top 10 of the 2020 draft. Tagovailoa is the only QB who hasn’t inked a massive extension.

Minnesota Vikings

Minnesota drafted J.J. McCarthy and brought in journeyman quarterback Sam Darnold. Who will win the quarterback competition between the two? Darnold’s experience might give him the upper hand in the short term.

New England Patriots

Bill Belichick's reign with the Patriots is over. Is Jerod Mayo the right man to usher in a new era in New England? Mayo has high-level playing experience, and as an assistant he learned from one of the best coaches of all time in Belichick. But Mayo is inheriting a roster with plenty of holes.

New Orleans Saints

Dennis Allen might have the hottest seat of any head coach in the NFL entering training camp. Allen is 16-18 in two seasons in the Big Easy. There are questions about his job security.

New York Giants

The Giants prioritized Daniel Jones over Saquon Barkley when Jones inked an extension. Did the Giants make the right choice? Jones has to prove he’s a franchise quarterback with Barkley now in Philly.

New York Jets

Aaron Rodgers suffered a season-ending torn Achilles four plays into his Jets debut. Will the 40-year-old be able to return to an MVP form coming off a major injury?

Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles imploded last year, losing six of their last seven games (including playoffs) after starting 10-1. Was Philadelphia’s collapse attributed to coaching, personnel issues or a combination of both? Nick Sirianni hired defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and offensive coordinator Kellen Moore over the offseason to help shore things up.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Mike Tomlin has begun his Steelers coaching career with a record 17 straight non-losing seasons. But the Super Bowl-winning coach now has to win with an aging quarterback in Russell Wilson or a young, unproven Justin Fields. Tomlin and the Steelers plan to start Wilson. However, can he hold off Fields?

San Francisco 49ers

Brandon Aiyuk is disgruntled over his contract situation. Will the 49ers and Aiyuk come up with some sort of an agreement before the start of the regular season? The 49ers have many looming contract decisions hovering over the organization.

Seattle Seahawks

Mike Macdonald was hired as the ninth head coach in Seahawks history. As the Ravens defensive coordinator, Macdonald’s defense led the NFL in points allowed and sacks. Can Macdonald have the same affect in Seattle? The Seahawks had the third worst defense in the NFL in 2023.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Bucs re-signed Baker Mayfield to a three-year extension after he set career-highs in passing yards (4,044) and touchdown passes (28) in what was a prove-it 2023 season. Was last year an anomaly or can we expect Mayfield to build on a productive 2023 campaign?

Tennessee Titans

Franchise pillars Derrick Henry and Ryan Tannehill are both gone, as well as respected head coach Mike Vrabel. New head coach Brian Callahan is tasked with establishing a new identity in addition to aiding in Will Levis’ development. Is Callahan up for the job as he enters his first training camp as a head coach?

Washington Commanders

Jayden Daniels, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 draft, became the franchise’s highest drafted quarterback since the club chose Robert Griffin III No. 2 overall in 2012. Can Daniels help shift the culture in the nation’s capital?
