I still think the Patriots are going to be very much expected to win the AFC East again but with the changing of the FO in Miami,The reloaded defensive front 7 in Buffalo and a potential near all-pro Offensive Line with New York, its going to take very late in the season for NE to wrap this division up.
Of course this is still very early in FA and the draft is 7 weeks away but as of now I think the other 3 teams have taken a solid step upward to become a challenge to the Patriots but Miami is probably still 2 years away from being a serious threat in the division and the Jets are several defensive playmakers away.
The Jets weakness appears to be in several areas of defense but I can see whoever is the QB should have a decent year and should have plenty of time to find open receivers with the very solid O line the team apparently has,Unfortunately they will probably have to put 25 points or more every game to win often and stay competitive in the division.
**** Jauron took a Buffalo team decimated with injuries to 40% of thier starters and with many JAGs playing in thier place the team was probably the hardest working group to overcome it all and get what appeared to be a 2-14 team up to .500 by the end of the season,This team definately did the utmost possible of what they could do with the players they had and with the superb first days in FA and bolstering the weak defensive front with quality players and with Edwards who may be the next good QB,I think Buffalo may be the most dangerous team and a load to beat in the division this year and I think they have a legit shot to win it but in the end NE takes the East very late,possibly not decided till week 15
So since theres not really any players out there that would make a drastic difference to any of the 4 teams and the draft is not as strong as in the past few year,I say the division goes something like this....
New England 12-4
Buffalo 10-6
NY Jets 9-7
Miami 6-10
