After an off-season that saw the Seahawks go all in, the Eagles blow things up, and the Patriots get into an all-out war with the NFL, football is finally back.
While the best teams from 2014 look like the favorites entering 2015, plenty has changed over the past six months.
We picked out the teams, players, and coaches who won the offseason, and others who very much did not.
WINNER: Chip Kelly (Philadelphia Eagles)
One thing to know: No one gained more power this off-season than Kelly. After winning an internal team struggle in January, he set out dismantling the roster and rebuilding it to his liking. Time will tell if Kelly's radical transformation of the Eagles' roster is a success, but it's abundantly clear that this is his team now.
LOSER: San Francisco 49ers
One thing to know: It was a rough spring for the 49ers. They lost Anthony Davis, Chris Borland, Patrick Williams, Justin Smith, Michael Crabtree, Mike Iupati, Frank Gore, and Chris Culliver to either retirement or free agency. Jim Harbaugh is also out. They're widely expected to take a huge step backward.
WINNER: Andrew Luck (Indianapolis Colts)
One thing to know: The Colts added two big offensive threats in running back Frank Gore and wide receiver Andre Johnson, and no one will benefit more than Luck. The combination of T.Y. Hilton and Johnson is scary, and adding a legitimately dangerous running back in Gore will open up the already-lethal Colts' passing game. Luck is already a dark-horse MVP candidate.
