Who Will Be King: NFC North Cap Cuts, Free Agents, and Combine Watchlist — An NFC North roundtable (Lions, Vikings, Bears, Packers) breaks down the early offseason between the Super Bowl and the NFL Combine, focusing on cap space, potential cuts, and key internal free agents. They discuss rumored Dolphins moves (Tyreek Hill, Bradley Chubb) and mostly pass due to cost/fit concerns. Team highlights include Vikings cap/free-agent notes (possible reworks, Harrison Smith retirement talk, Jalen Nailor, Ivan Pace Jr.), Bears potential cut of Tremaine Edmunds and decisions in the secondary plus DJ Moore cap-hit/restructure talk, Packers potential cap savings with moves involving Rashan Gary and Elton Jenkins and a cornerback priority, and Lions possible cap decisions (David Montgomery, offensive line, Brock Wright) plus re-signing priorities and bubble players. They preview the Combine (starting Feb. 23; on-field Feb. 26), name several draft targets (including safety and defensive tackle prospects like Oregon’s Dillon Thieneman and Florida’s Caleb Banks), and touch on Brian Flores’ lawsuit moving forward and the NFLPA team-grades controversy before closing with show plug segments and the March 11 free agency date.
