New Year's resolutions for all 32 NFL teams

Another year is shortly upon us, and we're presented with an opportunity to re-evaluate our lifestyle choices.

NFL players and teams aren't infallible from this logic, and thus we present New Year's resolutions for all 32 teams.

Arizona Cardinals

Control only what you can. Tyrann Mathieu's season-ending ACL injury was devastating, as the Cardinals' safety was one of the top candidates for Defensive Player of the Year. Alas, the Cardinals remain a Super Bowl candidate and will need to put their best defensive player's ailment out of purview for the next two months.

Atlanta Falcons

Try to remain consistent in all avenues. The Falcons looked like world-beaters during the first quarter of the season, but were quickly undone by a midseason slump. Matt Ryan and Co. ought to treat 2016 as a marathon, not a sprint.

Baltimore Ravens

Move on from the past. Baltimore was one of the eminent powerhouses of the 21st century, but the core of their golden age have retired, suffered horrific injuries, or passed their peak. For the Ravens to remain viable, they need to embrace the future.

Buffalo Bills

Listen more, talk less. Rex Ryan's battle cries made for great content, but did little to help a talent-laden Bills club snap the NFL's longest playoff drought. Instead of focusing on glimmering rhetoric, the Bills ought to fix a once-potent defense that struggled with penalties, and grasping base concepts of the 3-4 scheme.

Carolina Panthers

Block out national attention. It's somewhat ironic on our behalf to tell the Panthers to block out the media, but here we are. Cam Newton's legion of irrational critics will continue to grow as he piles up both individual and team accolades. In two much-anticipated battles, Josh Norman appeared to succumb to the pressure; that can't happen again in the playoffs.

Chicago Bears

Embrace an identity shift. Matt Forte appears likely to test free agency, and the Bears may undergo an identity shift if he leaves. With Jeremy Langford ready to go as the heir apparent, the Bears' running game ought to look entirely different in 2016.

Cincinnati Bengals

New haircuts for everyone. Andy Dalton received a snazzy new haircut, and played the best football of his carer. Coincidence? Maybe, but the Bengals ought to follow their quarterback's lead, anyways.

Cleveland Browns

To gain a sense of humor. The Browns squandered an opportunity to properly evaluate Johnny Manziel, needlessly relegating him to the bench after a video surfaced of him partying during the team's bye week. Another video emerged, with Manziel singing along to Future's "March Madness." Future is for the people, Mike Pettine.

Dallas Cowboys

Develop a contingency plan at quarterback. Tony Romo's injuries proved how fragile the Cowboys' ecosystem is without him. With multiple Pro Bowlers on the offensive line, the Cowboys need to develop a contingency plan in the event that the 35-year-old Romo suffers another harrowing injury.

Denver Broncos

Embrace Brock Osweiler. Brock Osweiler will never gain validation from some who will always believe that the shadow of Peyton Manning is a better option. Osweiler's been perfectly capable as a starter, and the fan base ought to trust him to lead the club to the Super Bowl.

Detroit Lions

Embrace offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter's offense. Lions under Joe Lombardi's tutelage: 19.9 points per game. Lions under Jim Bob Cooter's offense: 25 points per game.

Green Bay Packers

Rest for Aaron Rodgers. For the past two months, Aaron Rodgers hasn't performed anywhere close to his exacting standards, and something appears to be wrong with the reigning MVP. At the end of the season, the Packers quarterback ought to get plenty of rest and the training staff must seek out any lingering medical issues.

Houston Texans

Be inclusive of everyone. J.J. Watt dominates the headlines, but DeAndre Hopkins is a legitimate superstar, and the team's gained contributions from unheralded rookie Benardrick McKinney and veteran safety Quintin Demps. Share the love, guys!

Indianapolis Colts

Invest in protection for Andrew Luck. Andrew Luck was knocked down consistently through his first three seasons, and it caught up to him in his fourth year. With Luck out for the remainder of the year, the Colts ought to pursue protection for the face of the franchise.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Be patient in free agency. Jacksonville was trigger-happy during last summer's free agency bonanza, spending on Julius Thomas, Dan Skuta, Jared Odrick, and Jermey Parnell to little effect. A quick fix isn't the answer for the Jaguars.

Kansas City Chiefs

Don't change a thing! This is a bit of a cop-out, but after starting the year at 1-5, the Chiefs rattled off nine consecutive victories. In the absence of Jamaal Charles, the entire club stepped up. Don't change a thing!

Miami Dolphins

Make a decision on Dan Campbell. Dan Campbell began his tenure as interim head coach with two consecutive victories, but has been largely unimpressive since. The Dolphins can't make any progress unless they make a firm decision on Campbell's future.

Minnesota Vikings

Empower Teddy Bridgewater. Maligned for his lack of arm strength, the Vikings ought to provide Teddy Bridgewater with better options at wide receiver. Bridgewater is the team's quarterback of the future, and the Vikings would do well to add to Stefon Diggs and Mike Wallace, with running back Adrian Peterson continuing to serve as the fulcrum.

New England Patriots

Provide Tom Brady with more weapons. It's a testament to Tom Brady's brilliance that he's turned Dion Lewis, James White, Brandon LaFell, and Co. into valuable contributors. Facing myriad injuries at wide receiver, running back, and offensive line, the Patriots would be wise to surround him with more potent options across the board.

New Orleans Saints

Fix the defense. New Orleans has surrendered a league-high 30.6 points per game, and rank 31st in total defense. The Saints already fired defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, but it's done little to stop the bleeding. This must be the team's first priority in the offseason.

New York Giants

Find a pass rusher. New York's defensive line used to be its defining strength, but the Giants rank 30th in the league with 22 sacks. Finding a legitimate pass rusher would do wonders for its defense, and would provide relief for a constantly overwhelmed secondary.

New York Jets

Take Todd Bowles' word as gospel. Todd Bowles turned around a once-dormant Jets team into a legitimate AFC contender in his first year as head coach. Looming as a dark horse, the Jets ought to treat Bowles as a visionary.

Oakland Raiders

Prepare for Charles Woodson's retirement. Charles Woodson was named to the Pro Bowl in his final season, and the Raiders will need to transition to life without the future Hall of Famer. Although the team's loaded with playmakers on both sides of the ball, the Raiders will need to find a starting-caliber safety in order to keep progressing.

Philadelphia Eagles

To learn the virtue of patience. The timing of Chip Kelly's firing confounded players and analysts alike, after the Eagles sputtered to a 6-9 mark. In beginning their search for a new head coach, the Eagles ought to be patient to select the right person for the job this time.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Pursue a cornerback. Pittsburgh is arguably the most entertaining team in the league to watch with Antonio Brown leading a fireworks show. However, opponents know to pick on right cornerback Antwon Blake, who's been an absolute liability for the 9-6 Steelers.

San Diego Chargers

Be prepared to say goodbye. The Chargers are actively trying to move to Los Angeles, with a joint stadium deal in place. San Diego will also be entering a nasty divorce with safety Eric Weddle, who was livid about not receiving an extension.

San Francisco 49ers

Rebuild the offensive line. San Francisco has given up a league-high 52 sacks and will need to rebuild its offensive line entirely. Although the team possesses glaring needs at a few positions, fixing their remedial offensive line is the top priority.

Seattle Seahawks

Fend off ego for the common good. Success begets arrogance, and many Seahawks veterans want to be prematurely rewarded for their run of success over the past four years. With Michael Bennett clamoring for an extension, and Jermaine Kearse, Bruce Irvin, and Russell Okung slated to become free agents, the team will need to fight their egos for the common good.

St. Louis Rams

Continue momentum in 2016. Although they missed the playoffs once again, the Rams are on a three-game winning streak and have plenty to be optimistic about. Todd Gurley could be the best running back in football in 2016, while Aaron Donald remains a prime candidate for Defensive Player of the Year.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Stay the course. Jameis Winston's rookie season went as well as one could expect and the Buccaneers are slowly building a team that could contend for the next five years. Tampa Bay ought to remain patient and avoid pursuing a costly free agent based off a sample size, as they've done in the past (Alterraun Verner, anyone?).

Tennessee Titans

Get rid of Ruston Webster. Ruston Webster is the worst general manager in the NFL by a comfortable margin and failed to accrue talent, compiling a desolate roster. Webster needs to go, especially with the Titans in the running for the first overall pick.

Washington Redskins

Drop the league's most offensive nickname. This is a less pragmatic resolution that could be viewed as wishful thinking, but enough already! It's 2016 and there's no place in today's society for a horribly offensive moniker.
