12. Houston Texans (never appeared in a Super Bowl): QB Deshaun Watson wants out. J.J. Watt is already out. There s no cap space for free agents. There s no first- or second-round pick in this year s draft. And executive vice president of football operations Jack Easterby continues to be a source of controversy. Yikes.
11. Detroit Lions (never appeared in a Super Bowl): New coach Dan Campbell recently told the Detroit Free Press, We are looking two years out, three years out. And so everything to me starts two years out, and it doesn’t start right now. The recent trade of QB Matthew Stafford to the Rams for QB Jared Goff and a bundle of draft picks, including two first-rounders, suggests the long-term plan is already unfolding . and probably won t offer a whole lot of hope in 2021.
