By the time July rolls around, this column might look like a relic of a bygone era. The Panthers are currently building an impressive coaching staff in Carolina, the Saints have a way of chewing through their cap deficit like Pac-Man through digital fruit, and the Buccaneers...well, okay, we’re probably not worried about the Buccaneers. Changes large and small are ahead for all four of the NFC South’s squads, and with no complete team in the division at the moment, it’s not hard to see a great offseason lifting one of them above the fray.
From here, though, the path to relevance and perhaps the South for the Falcons remains easy to see.
