Biggest red flags for 20 NFL contenders in 2024: Bills' overhauled WRs, Bengals' QB health among top concerns

Lions: The youthful secondary​

The offense is in good hands, with Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown locked up alongside a solid line and dynamic backfield. And while the defensive backfield got some splashy new faces in Terrion Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw Jr., it's still a gamble for a contender to rely on so many unproven starters.

Jets: Aaron Rodgers' condition​

We say "condition" because Rodgers isn't only a risky proposition from an injury perspective, coming off a torn Achilles at age 40, but because we also haven't seen him deliver a truly above-average season since ... 2021? New York is all in on the former MVP, but his ceiling at this stage is kind of a mystery.

Chiefs: Cornerback depth​

Kansas City wouldn't have traded L'Jarius Sneed, their top cover man in 2023, if Trent McDuffie hadn't also emerged as a versatile starter in the secondary. Even so, new running mate Joshua Williams enters 2024 with just six career starts under his belt, putting more pressure on the safeties.

Bills: The overhauled WR corps​

In theory, Buffalo has swapped out one bona fide pass catcher (in this case, Stefon Diggs) for a slew of solid role players: a red zone outlet (Keon Coleman), a utility man (Curtis Samuel) and a speedster (Marquez Valdes-Scantling). Is that really a better supporting cast for Josh Allen?

The Chiefs didn't have a choice with Sneed....financial reasons forced his exit...
