Unlike some other teams, the New York Giants simply do not place a big emphasis on the linebacker position, and have been quite successful with this strategy given that they've won two Super Bowls recently. Nevertheless, they do need somebody to start at those positions, and at middle linebacker, they'll have some competition heading into 2013.

The San Diego Chargers were excited about the possibilities with WR Vincent Brown up until he wrecked his ankle in a preseason game last summer. The injury kept Brown out for the entire 2012 campaign, but as the club has gone through their offseason program this spring, he's been an active participant. Given the team's makeup, it's possible he could be ready for a breakout in 2013.

The Minnesota Vikings have a lot of exciting things going on: their superhero running back just led the NFL in rushing less than a year after tearing his ACL; they have a new line of jerseys (and a slightly altered logo) that they've debuted this offseason; they unveiled plans for a new stadium with a Skynet-esque "self-cleaning" roof. But beneath the surface, there's a financial issue lingering: namely, star DE Jared Allen's contract with the club is expiring after 2013.

It's official: the Giants have renewed their business relationship with Ramses Barden for 2013.

Although the Detroit Lions were happy to bring S Louis Delmas back into the mix -- in theory, his presence crosses off one item on the list of needs -- the good feelings might be short-lived: the injury-prone Delmas appears to be suffering from yet another health issue.

Though their final results from 2012 wouldn't indicate that any part of their play was truly dominant, the Kansas City Chiefs have a pair of quite impactful OLBs in Tamba Hali and Justin Houston, and new DC Bob Sutton is poised to feature both as part of an aggressive pass-rushing scheme this fall. But, the scheme will also involve a number of the other players on that side of the ball.

Knowing that they'd definitely be without Ray Lewis and Dannell Ellerbe this fall -- and might be without Jameel McClain -- the Baltimore Ravens used a second-round pick on LB Arthur Brown in the draft and signed Rolando McClain in free agency. The Rolando Experience is over (for now), as he's retired from football to get his off-field life in order. And there's new concern over Brown as the offseason rolls along.

Coming out of college, WR Stephen Hill had some question marks in terms of his ability to play the game at the NFL level; unlike some of the other wideout prospects in the 2012 draft, he was not very polished. So it wasn't surprising that he had trouble making a big impact in his rookie campaign -- and the New York Jets' quarterbacking situation didn't help matters much, either. As we look ahead to the fall, Hill certainly has a chance to make his mark.

Though Cincinnati Bengals starting QB Andy Dalton isn't counted amongst the elite players at his position, he's played well enough to get the team into the playoffs the past two seasons.

Moving from 2012 to 2013, the safety position was an area of concern for the Philadelphia Eagles, no matter who was going to be coaching the team. So, they signed Kenny Phillips and Patrick Chung in free agency before adding Earl Wolff in the draft. In the early portion of the offseason program, incumbent Nate Allen was lining up with the first team alongside Chung, which was somewhat confusing given that Phillips has the best resume of the bunch.
