Ringing in 2025: New Year's Resolutions for all 32 NFL teams

The end of the calendar year signaled the near conclusion of a disappointing season for more than half of the NFL's franchises. And within the next six weeks, all but one of the rest will reach their bitter end, too.

And all of them — even the eventual Super Bowl champions — will soon begin to evaluate everything they did wrong in 2024 so they can figure out how to make 2025 better. They'll promise their fans that this time they will figure out how to do it right.

But why wait? The start of the new year is the traditional time to repent the past and make lofty promises and set unreasonable goals for the future. So to help them out, and point them toward a better 2025, here are some important New Year's resolutions for all 32 NFL teams:

Arizona Cardinals — QB Kyler Murray and WR Marvin Harrison Jr. resolve to spend the entire offseason working together to build their chemistry and, eventually, their timing. Harrison, in his rookie season, was targeted 110 times through the first 16 games, but caught just 57 passes. That catch percentage of 51.8% shows something is off between the two of them. It's also the lowest percentage of any of the 50 receivers who have been targeted at least 86 times. That has to change.

The Falcons are Michael Penix Jr.'s team now. It doesn't matter that Cousins has three years left on the $180 million contract he signed 10 months ago, or that even trading him would cost them $37.5 million in dead money. Keeping him would be a distraction. And at 36, he could still be useful to several NFL teams even if
