What happened: Indianapolis lands at the uninspiring end after an offseason without a first-round pick or a major signing beyond extensions for Daniel Jones and Alec Pierce. New York receives rebirth billing as all 32 clubs are assessed before training camp.
Why it matters: The contrast captures different expectations for two franchises trying to change course before the 2026 season. Jones's recovery adds uncertainty in Indianapolis, while camp will test New York's renewed optimism.
By the numbers: Four distinct player trades shaped the offseason assessment: Tytus Howard to Cleveland, Trent McDuffie to Los Angeles, David Montgomery to Houston and DJ Moore to Buffalo.
What to watch: Training camp will provide the first on-field test of the offseason outlooks surrounding Indianapolis and New York.
