There are some divisions in the NFL that are better than others and last season, the NFC East was certainly one of the worst. The Eagles won the division with a 9-7 record while the Cowboys, Giants, and Redskins each disappointed in the end.
There were plenty of coaching changes within the division. The Cowboys finally had enough of Jason Garrett after another underwhelming season and replaced him with Mike McCarthy. Meanwhile, the Giants hired Joe Judge while Ron Rivera is now the head coach of the Redskins.
It was a busy offseason for the NFC East with the Cowboys grabbing most of the headlines as a result of Dak Prescott’s contract situation. Dallas had to replace plenty of notable free agency departures but managed to have a great haul from the NFL Draft featuring CeeDee Lamb and Trevon Diggs.
Perhaps the most active of all in free agency was the Eagles. They went out and signed Darius Slay, Javon Hargrave, and Nickell Robey-Coleman in free agency to bolster their defense and added the speedy Jalen Reagor in the first round of the draft.
Both the Redskins and Giants landed a top-five pick in the 2020 NFL Draft adding more potential star power to the division. Adding an elite pass rusher in Chase Young and a high-level offensive tackle prospect in Andrew Thomas should make things more interesting next season.
With that being said, here is the main weakness for each team in the NFC East.
