You expect some turnover in the offseason, but some teams will look particularly different next year. Especially one of the league's best teams last season, the Carolina Panthers, and worst, the Cleveland Browns.
Carolina will have a new group of wide receivers and possibly three or four new starting offensive linemen. Cleveland not only has a new coaching staff, but will have new starters at quarterback, running back, and No. 2 and 3 wideout, as well a couple of offensive line spots.
Those teams' main offensive starters in 2013 compared to 2014 (projected) are presented below.
