Here Are the Big Themes to Look for in the Next N.F.L. Season (The New York Times)

The Tom Brady era has ended as younger players like Patrick Mahomes make their mark, while injuries, diversity and other issues intensify.

That came several weeks after [Jim Irsay, owner of the Indianapolis Colts, said Snyder](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/18/sports/football/dan-snyder-washington-commanders.html) might have to be removed for sullying the league’s reputation. [battling a lawsuit brought by former head coaches of color](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/01/sports/football/brian-flores-giants-discrimination-lawsuit.html) who have accused the league of discriminatory hiring practices. [pay the N.F.L. roughly $10 billion a year for the next decade. But the league knows that younger fans are more likely to stream games over the internet, so it’s tiptoeing into the streaming space. [Tom Brady really has retired after 23 seasons](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/01/sports/football/tom-brady-retires.html), Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes will be the most recognizable player in the league. There are just three Black head coaches among the 32 teams in a league (a fourth, Mike McDaniel of the Miami Dolphins, identifies as biracial) in which nearly 70 percent of the players are Black. With the 2022 season in the books, with a thrilling victory by the Kansas City Chiefs over the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl, here are some of the issues that will be the talk of the N.F.L. Their scary episodes again highlighted the brutality of the sport, and how many N.F.L. “We’ve been around for 104, 105 years, and is concerning that we’re still having these conversations that today we only have a few head coaches rather than many head coaches of color.” From the Super Bowl to the scouting combine in a few weeks to the start of free agency in March and the draft in April and the preparation for the new season a few months after that, the drumbeat of attraction and attention never seems to stop. “Mahomes is probably the best representation of that.”

Brain injuries, race and denial in the NFL (Aljazeera.com)

The NFL is a multibillion-dollar industry. But is it doing enough to protect players after the game is over?

The league has since paid a settlement out to players, but it has also been accused of using race-based tests to deny Black players compensation. The National Football League is the richest professional sports league in the world, but it has been accused of leaving its Black players behind. The NFL is a multibillion-dollar industry.

Also, Cleveland figures to be on the hunt for pass-catching options, with a likely emphasis on speed and big-play ability.

In the immediate aftermath of Super Bowl LVII, here's the current order for Round 1 of the '23 draft, which is scheduled to be held April 27-29 in Kansas City, Missouri, along with the top three needs for each team.

Chargers News: Bolts rank 7th in way-too-early NFL power rankings (Bolts from the Blue)

The Chargers are the fourth-highest ranked AFC team behind the Chiefs, Bengals, and Bills.

That way, the Bolts can place all of their attention where it is badly needed in order to make the deep playoff run they’ve missed the past two seasons — by fixing the offense and building a scheme that allows Herbert and his arm to shine.” Along with the rankings, each beat writer for their respective team also had to describe their offseason in three words. But what about the Chargers?

2023 NFL season lookahead: Early Super Bowl odds, five teams to ... (CBSSports.com)

The longtime Packers QB hasn't indicated one way or another whether he'll be back, but if he does return, a split from Green Bay seems more possible than ever.

[Bears](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/CHI/chicago-bears/) stick with [Justin Fields](/nfl/players/1273205/justin-fields/), there are still seven teams picking in the top 10 of the 2023 [NFL Draft](/nfl/draft/) that could reasonably target a signal-caller: the [Texans](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/HOU/houston-texans/) (No. [Aaron Rodgers](/nfl/players/419780/aaron-rodgers/)?

But the ex-Saints coach is easily the most accomplished of the new hires, and his blunt approach will make for a fascinating blend with QB [Russell Wilson](/nfl/players/1272242/russell-wilson/), who flopped under Nathaniel Hackett in 2021 and is probably in make-or-break territory after such a long, pristine run in Seattle.

Now former Falcons star [Calvin Ridley](/nfl/players/2186328/calvin-ridley/)should be coming off suspension to boost their aerial attack, and their young D-line is still coming into its own. Burrow could/should break the bank as maybe the [NFL](/nfl/)'s most clutch signal-caller this side of Mahomes, while Hurts -- now approaching a contract year as former second-rounder -- has quickly earned his own mega-deal with an MVP candidacy and sterling Super Bowl showing.
