Buffalo Bills
The Bills have been knocking on the door, and resume their pursuit of a long-awaited Super Bowl crown on the back of three successive AFC East titles, two Divisional Round losses and defeat in the AFC Championship Game over the last three years.
MVP-contending quarterback Josh Allen and his bombs-away arm talent heads up one of the league's most complete rosters, which includes a new weapon in the form of first-round rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid as a welcome supplement to a receiving core of Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis. Second-year running back James Cook is primed to take on an expanded role out of the backfield as Ken Dorsey strives for greater balance on offense, while on defense the Bills have seen linebacker Tremaine Edmunds depart in free agency, defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier step away from the team and star edge rusher Von Miller ruled out for the opening four games of the campaign as he continues his recovery from injury.
Their Super Bowl window remains open, though they now find themselves in one of the league's most competitive divisions.
Miami Dolphins
Expect speed, expect fireworks, expect your regular dose of funky Mike McDaniel play-calling.
New England Patriots
Bill Belichick's storied Patriots may no longer be top dogs in a loaded AFC East, but you can bank on the greatest coach in NFL history licking his lips at the prospect of blunting the high-powered offenses surrounding him.
For all difficulties in moving the rock, Belichick's team ranked third in EPA/play as well as fourth in sacks and seventh in pressure rate while blitzing at the fourth lowest rate behind a pass rush spearheaded by Matthew Judon's 15.5 sacks and Josh Uche's career-best 11.5. They bolstered the defense again this offseason, introducing silk smooth first-round cornerback Christian Gonzalez along with raw but frighteningly-athletic pass rusher Keion White and hybrid linebacker Marte Mapu.
Bill O'Brien returns as offensive coordinator to restore a scheme ideally-more tailored to quarterback Mac Jones following last year's struggles under Matt Patricia, with wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and tight end Mike Gesicki arriving in free agency to join Kendrick Bourne and DeVante Parker as pass-catching options, while veteran running back Ezekiel Elliott enters as a backfield companion for star running back Rhamondre Stevenson.
New York Jets
Need we guide you through the story of the season for the Jets? With the addition of four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers they are all in on their pursuit of a first Super Bowl ring since the Joe Namath-led team of 1963.
Rodgers wants a second title to his name, and deemed the Jets a ready-made opportunity to make that happen. He pilots an offense starring second-year wide receiver Garrett Wilson, while being reunited with former Packers teammates Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb and old Green Bay offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett.
The signing of veteran running back Dalvin Cook and introduction of rookie Israel Abanikanda meanwhile eases the pressure on the eventual return of Breece Hall, who had been in Rookie of the Year contention before suffering a season-ending knee injury last year. Among the convincers for Rodgers was the strength of Robert Saleh and Jeff Ulbrich's defense, fronted by the Defensive Rookie of the Year in cornerback Sauce Gardner and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams.
They addressed that convincer again by drafting dynamic edge rusher Will McDonald IV in the first round, with him coming that trademark spin move. There aren't too many excuses now. This is Rodgers' chance, and Saleh's chance. Albeit in a talent-heavy AFC.

Baltimore Ravens
Lamar Jackson is back. Following an offseason standoff over contract negotiations, he and the Ravens finally agreed on a new five-year $260m extension to kick off the start of what feels a new chapter for the former MVP quarterback.
Jackson returns to action having missed the back end of last season through injury, notably including the playoff defeat to the Bengals that might well have ended differently had he been on the field. He is joined by a newly-appointed offensive coordinator in Todd Monken, who traded in life with the back-to-back College National champion Georgia to succeed Greg Roman. He promises to install the most diverse Ravens offense yet, designed to showcase not only the ground threat of Jackson but also his passing expertise in a more spread-friendly offense.
Plans to do so have been enhanced by the drafting of first-round wide receiver Zay Flowers, not to mention the signing of Odell Beckham Jr to line up across from trusted tight end Mark Andrews and an injury-hit Rashod Bateman from whom the best is yet to come. Scottish edge rush David Ojabo is primed to line up beside Roquan Smith, Patrick Queen and Odafe Oweh for his first full season after missing much of his rookie year through injury, while Kyle Hamilton and Marcus Williams resume their spot as one of the most versatile and athletically-gifted safety tandems in the NFL.
Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals were a game away from returning to a second straight Super Bowl last season, only to be thwarted by Patrick Mahomes and the eventual champion Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.
Third time lucky? With Joe Burrow at the helm under center, the Bengals remain among the favourites to make it out of the AFC and all the way to Las Vegas.
In Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd they boast one of the league's leading receiver trios, while Irv Smith Jr poses as a fresh option at tight end following his move to Cincinnati in the offseason. The big question surrounding the Bengals is whether they can protect their prized asset at quarterback, Burrow having been sacked a sixth-most 41 times in 2022 and a second-most 124 times since entering the league in 2020.
Offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr was signed in a bid to address that this season, while a better version of La'el Collins is expected upon his return from injury. Defensive coordinator mastermind Lou Anarumo retained his linebacker core of Logan Wilson and Germaine Pratt, both of whom are crucial to his subterfuge system, while welcoming first-round rookie pass rusher Myles Murphy to assist Trey Hendrickson.

Cleveland Browns
The pressure is on for Kevin Stefanski and his Cleveland Browns as they count on Deshaun Watson to rediscover his top form after handing the quarterback a fully-guaranteed five-year $230m contract in March last year.
Watson is set for his first full season as starter in Cleveland having been banned for 11 games in 2022 following allegations of sexual harassment. He was a long way off the pace upon returning down the stretch last season.
Fortunately for him, running back Nick Chubb remains the heartbeat of the Browns offense after posting a career-high 1,525 rushing yards for a tied-career-best 12 touchdowns last season. Amari Cooper stands to be Watson's main target through the air as he is joined by Elijah Moore following his trade from the Jets, while David Njoku, Harrison Bryant and Jordan Akins are poised for prominent roles under a head coach in Stefanski known for his multiple tight end sets.
