After a chaotic week of free agent acquisitions and trades, let’s break down the new-look rosters and determine what teams have the best chance to reach Super Bowl XLVI: 5. New York Jets » The biggest offseason questions were at wide receiver and cornerback and the Jets opted to re-sign Santonio Holmes and Antonio Cromartie. They also added Plaxico Burress to help a passing game that was in the bottom half of the league last year.
4. Pittsburgh Steelers » The defending AFC champions are one of the most balanced teams in the league and have made little changes to an already talented roster. The Steelers have had a top-five rush defense the past seven seasons.
3. Philadelphia Eagles » The offseason champions have acquired Nnamdi Asomugha, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Vince Young, Cullen Jenkins, Jason Babin and Ronnie Brown. Now they have to find a way to gel, especially that loaded secondary.
2. New England Patriots » Are they geniuses or idiots for picking up Albert Haynesworth and Chad Ochocinco? These moves usually work out for the Patriots, but the team everyone associates with postseason success has lost their last three playoff games and haven’t won a Super Bowl since 2004.
1. Green Bay Packers » Last year the Packers struggled with injuries and still won the Super Bowl.
