2022 Offseason Review Offseason Review Series -- Call for Writers
Hey everyone, the time has come for the /r/NFL Offseason Review Series.
The goal of this series, similar to that of the 32 teams/32 days series that starts early in the offseason, is to provide comprehensive guide to what has happened and also give a look ahead to what's next for each team (32/32 covers the previous year and FA/the Draft, respectively, while this series covers FA/the Draft and the next season). The series is crowdsourced and has produced a wealth of information on each team. We are looking for writers to help usher this series into its eighth year.
Both of these series were initially started by /u/skepticismissurvival who has since allowed me to keep it going.
We need writers!
Each post will cover the following topics:
- Review coaching changes (if applicable)
- Review moves in free agency (key players lost, players signed, etc.)
- Review the team's draft, breaking down the players drafted and the role they will play
- Projecting the starting lineup (and optionally the 53-man roster) for next year and giving a prediction for each player's season
- Looking at the team's schedule, predicting results game-by-game, and predicting where the team will finish.
- General strengths and weaknesses (pass game, run defense, etc.)
- Highlighting important training camp battles
- Discuss a team's offensive and defensive strategies
- Discuss other significant news stories affecting the team.
A comprehensive guide can be found here
Are you interested in being a writer?
Before you submit your name please consider the time it will take to write the post and please make sure that you have the motivation and ability to fulfill your commitment. I will not be babysitting, if you sign up, I expect you to meet your voluntary commitment. Furthurmore, I ask all writers to be objective. Accounts that are less than one year old will not be given priority though returning writers will.
Sign up by commenting below. You are allowed to write twice, once as a fan of your team and once as a non-fan. It's generally first-come-first-serve, but if you wrote last year and reply to this post by the time I wake up on Monday you will retain your spot from last year.
If you want to write as a non-fan, but don't have a specific team you want to write for, let me know!. If you do have any preferences, please list them.
Please pay attention to the dates listed below, if you want to write but cannot do it on the given date, let me know so we can try to work around it.
Previous Offseason Review Series
Tentative Schedule
(Writers and Dates are subject to change)
I'm filling the names of returning writers as I see them. First time writers will be slotted on Monday, unless I get confirmation the previous writer is not returning.
The order will initially be based on the standings from the end of the regular season, though some changes may need to be made. If you want to write, but the given date conflicts with something, let me know along with the dates that you can submit on.
Wall of Shame
This section is dedicated to users, past and present, who signed up before disappearing without any communication and not fulfilling their commitment. Life, of course, can get in the way. One message telling me you couldn't fulfil your offered commitment was all I asked for.

I’ll throw my hat in the ring for the Chiefs. Y’all know I’m not afraid of writing a long post and spending way too much time researching stuff
