What to expect during the 2023-4 NFL season

The NFL preseason runs through August 27. Week 1 of the 2023-4 NFL season begins on September 7, 2023, when the Detroit Lions take on the Kansas City Chiefs. Here are some of the top storylines to follow for the 2023-4 NFL season.
Aaron Rodgers in a new shade of green: Four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers takes over from former Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady as the oldest active player in the league. All eyes will be on the 39-year-old Hard knock star, who in his Green Bay Packers uniform for a Jets green uniform following 18 seasons in Green Bay.
A-Rod is already making his mark in New York by mentoring younger players like Jets CB Sauce Gardner, who Rodgers a “future Hall of Famer”. The Jets haven’t won the Super Bowl since 1969 and haven’t made the playoffs since 2010. Rodgers made the playoffs a total of nine times. The Jets invested $112 million in Rodgers, who is adding a tenth trip to the postseason to his resume.
Geno Smith silences critics: The NFC West has always been a highly contested battleground and this season is no different. Ever since Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith was given the starting quarterback role in the post-Russell Wilson era, we’ve enjoyed watching Smith silence naysayers. Smith led Seattle to nine wins, threw for a career-high 30 touchdowns and made the Pro Bowl last season. He promised fans he would improve on last season’s progress with hopes of dominating the NFC West.
Brock Purdy is no longer irrelevant: After he heard from Mr. Irrelevant in the 2022 NFL Draft went to the first last overall NFL Draft pick to play (and win) a playoff game, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is poised to cement himself as the Niners starter even even if it means Trey Lance sidelined. Purdy’s rise from third-string QB to playoff starter has dazzled fans (the NFL does love a good storyline) and we’ll be looking for Purdy to prove that last season’s postseason success was no fluke not. We also love a good storyline.
Other storylines to follow this NFL season: After spending a season on the sidelines recovering from a torn ACL suffered during Super Bowl LVI, superstar wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. ditched his LA Rams uniform and joined Lamar Jackson in Baltimore. This duo has potential to be as productive as Aaron Rodgers and Devante Adams or even (throwback alert), Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison.
