ESPN NFL analyst Aaron Schatz identifies five franchises most 'all-in' for the 2026 season and Super Bowl LXI. These teams are investing heavily now rather than rebuilding for the future.

The Los Angeles Rams lead this group, making blockbuster moves including trading for Myles Garrett and pulling Aaron Donald out of retirement. With 38-year-old Matthew Stafford at quarterback and a defense featuring Donald (35), Garrett (31), and Poona Ford (31), the Rams have the oldest projected starters' average age at 28.1. Their win-now approach is complicated by draft pick costs and key players on final rookie contract years.

The Denver Broncos follow as one of the oldest teams in the NFL, with an offensive starters' average age of 29.1. Key veterans include 34-year-old Garett Bolles, 31-year-old Courtland Sutton, and 32-year-old Evan Engram. Their defense ranks fourth in starter age at 28.3, anchored by 32-year-old Alex Singleton and 31-year-old D.J. Jones. Despite the age, Denver reached last season's AFC Championship Game and recorded 68 sacks.

The San Francisco 49ers round out the discussion as another veteran team that has strengthened their roster while maintaining competitive depth.
