Nate Burleson: The great Larry Fitzgerald returns for one more season. Why not send the future Hall of Fame member with a championship like the Denver Broncos did with John Elway or the Baltimore Ravens with Ray Lewis? Fitz and the cardinals were thisclose to win the title in the 2008 season, when they narrowly lost to Pittsburgh. That was the only appearance in the Arizona Super Bowl, but Cardinals fans have been loyal anyway. The team has made big moves this offseason to move up the ladder in the NFC West, NFC, and the league at large. I wouldn’t be so surprised to see the Kliff Kingsbury team go up in flames in the desert this season. This organization is due.
Brian Baldinger: JETS! JETS! JETS! JETS! Most fans weren’t even alive for, or at least old enough to remember, the New York Jets’ Super Bowl III victory in January 1969. But fans of this franchise have been loyal. They share a stadium with a team that has won four Lombardi trophies and has been the topic of conversation for the city, yet the faithful of the Jets continue to appear with hope. An ugly 50 years have passed. It is time to eradicate that story.
David Carr: It has to be Cleveland. This team has spent nearly two decades, which included a 0-16 season in 2017, trying to return to the playoffs. Despite all the turmoil, Browns fans remain loyal and appear weekly. And in 2020, it looks like hope is high with a talent roster in place. Wouldn’t it be something if the team with the longest playoff drought ran the table in January / February and returned to Cleveland lifting the Lombardi Trophy?
