Free agency has shaken up the NFL, leading to fresh power rankings for the 2026 season.

The NFC West stands out strong, with three teams in the top five.

Seattle Seahawks topped the list as defending Super Bowl champs, despite losing key players

like Kenneth Walker III, Boy Mafe, and Kobe Bryant.

They kept talents like Rashid Shaheed and added cheaper depth.

The Los Angeles Rams landed at number two, acting like contenders by grabbing cornerbacks,

Trent McDuffy and Jalen Watson to fix their secondary.

Woes.

They still hold a first round draft pick at number 13, and might chase more line help or receiver,

especially with Matthew Stafford at age, 30 and e.

San Francisco 49ers climbed to number five, adding veteran receiver Mike Evans and defensive

tackle Osa Odidi Hizua.

Evan should steady their passing game for Brock Pertie, though injuries remain a concern

upfront after losing edge-rusher Bryce Huff to retirement.

Meanwhile, the Arizona Cardinals sit dead last at number 32.

They picked up Guard Isaac Somalo and running back Tyler Alghier, but quarterback questions

linger with Jacobi Preset and Gardner Minchew.

Their line and defense still need work in this tough division.

These rankings highlight a stacked NFC West, where Seattle, LA, and San Francisco look prime

to compete, while Arizona faces an uphill battle.

Draft moves could shift things, but for now, the champs hold firm.
