The NFC East has been a competitive division for some time. Although the Dallas Cowboys took the undisputed lead last season, all three other teams demonstrated impressive levels of play, and let’s not forget (although it’s pretty easy to do so) the New York Giants also made the playoffs. We have a long way to go before the season officially kicks off, but there have been a few significant shakeups this offseason that beg the question, what will the standing of the NFC East look like come week 17? I’m only going to be conjecturing based on these teams’ strengths and weaknesses from the past year, along with the potential of their recent acquisitions. This is all speculation and moot until the season actually begins. However, it’s June and we’re woefully too deprived of football, so hopefully, this helps.
