We are at the midpoint of June, and it has already been a busy offseason for the NFL. From a crazy NFL Draft in April to a busy trade market in both May and June, this upcoming season is lining up to be one of the best ones yet.
ClutchPoints’ June NFL Power Rankings are impacted by all of the offseason moves so far, as well as how teams have looked in their rookie and veteran mini-camps. How has your team looked so far this offseason, and what storylines are you most excited to follow before the regular season begins?
Already factoring into the race for the top spot, the Los Angeles Rams find themselves leading the pack in June’s NFL Power Rankings after they acquired both Trent McDuffie and Myles Garrett. With general manager Les Snead and head coach Sean McVay deciding to kick a lot of their first-round picks to the curb, their aggressive moves pave the way for LA to remain a Super Bowl threat.
Adding both McDuffie and Garrett to an already-solid defense will make things even easier for Chris Shula, as he will be tasked with letting Garrett loose on the defensive line in blue and yellow. Plus, with rumors circulating about the potential return of the retired Aaron Donald for one last hurrah, we may have the next version of a super team on our hands.
Having celebrated their Super Bowl LX win by giving out their championship rings, the Seattle Seahawks find themselves not listed as the top team in this iteration of the NFL Power Rankings. It is quite rare for a Super Bowl-winning team that did not lose a ton of talent in the offseason to be knocked off their pedestal so quickly, but that is the NFL world we currently live in.
Needing to replace Kenneth Walker III, Seattle will be choosing from rookie Jadarian Price and a plethora of depth pieces for Week 1, as Zach Charbonnet’s torn ACL recovery timeline likely won’t have him ready for Week 1. Opening up the 2026 season with a Wednesday rematch of last year’s Super Bowl, Sam Darnold and the entire SEA roster will have a target on its back this year.
A Sean Payton contract extension, trading for Jaylen Waddle, and turning their running back room into a three-horse race has made for quite the strong offseason for the Denver Broncos. Having finished as the best team in the AFC last year but losing in the AFC Championship Game, the Broncos are looking to repeat as one of the best in the league this season.
The way Bo Nix talks about Jaylen Waddle is like he’s just different than everyone else (and he is)
Talks about his explosiveness overall and getting in and out of cuts and doesn’t lose speed
