The perfect offseason for every NFL team

So, in the South, there are two teams that are only a few pieces away from legitimate contention, while there are others still in phase one of the rebuilding process.

The Texans finished the regular season with one of the best records in the NFL, winning the AFC South for a second year in a row.
