Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens made it clear changes are coming, and the full nontaxpayer midlevel exception of about $15 million is a tool the front office is very likely to use to such an end.

The size of the deal will make it possible for Boston to stay under the luxury tax for the second season in a row to shed its repeater status and enable greater spending for the future. What are the team's positions of need -- and which players might be able to fill them at this salary level?

NFL regression candidates: Patriots and Bears will have a tough time repeating in their divisions

It doesn’t seem like only 16 months ago that the Washington Commanders were the talk of the NFL.

Yahoo Sports

The Commanders, with then-rookie Jayden Daniels, upset the No. 1 seed Detroit Lions in the playoffs and then lost in the NFC championship game to a fantastic Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles team. When a magical season like that happens, the natural thought is to believe a team has arrived and the next step will be forward.

That’s not always the case. It certainly wasn’t for the 2025 Commanders. They crashed back to earth as the roster got old in a hurry, some luck in close games ran out and injuries hit. They went 5-12, a huge disappointment for fans who believed their big season was the start of something big.

Find NFL tickets on Gametime|More NFL team schedules

Regression is a strong force, and it’s bound to hit some of the breakout teams from last season. Here are the top five candidates to regress back to the mean this season, with the biggest reason for the pessimism:

Chicago Bears: Turnover differential

There’s one big factor here that could negate all of the regression factors working against the Bears, and it’s Caleb Williams.

Williams still hadaccuracy issueslast season, but showed significant growth and it’s reasonable to think there’s a big leap coming. If he was an MVP candidate in his third season, it wouldn’t be a big surprise. But plenty of regression indicators are not kind to the Bears.

Start with turnover differential. The Bears were +22 last season, which was five better than any other team and nine better than third place. That’s likely unsustainable. There’s also the difference between the Bears’ 11-6 record and their Pythagorean win total, which calculates what a team’s record should have been based on their point differential. The Bears, who had a +26 point differential, had a three-win gap between their adjusted Pythagorean win total and actual win totalaccording to TheOddsBreakers.com, the most fortunate mark in the NFL. Eight wins in one-score games, including one in the playoffs, helped. Also, the Bears go from the seventh easiest schedule in the NFL (calculated by DVOA) to the sixth toughest this season (calculated by SharpFootball.com, using oddsmakers’ win totals).

There are other metrics that say the Bears won’t repeat as an 11-win team. Williams’ improvement could even that out, but he might have to improve a lot to overcome some impending regression.

New England Patriots: strength of schedule

We all know about last season’s strength of schedule for the Patriots, which was one ofthe easiest in recent NFL history.And if that was the only thing working against the Patriots, who went 14-3 last season, it would be significant but maybe not too much to overcome.

That’s not the only reason though. The Patriots were the luckiest team in the NFL last season when it came toadjusted games lostdue to injury, a metric from FTN Fantasy’s Aaron Schatz. That was a massive advantage and very hard to repeat. Seven wins in games decided by seven points or less is also going to be hard to repeat. New England had a great season and has a young core, with a quarerback in Drake Maye who nearly won NFL MVP and should still be improving. But a pullback is practically inevitable, it’s just a matter of how many fewer wins the Patriots get.

Denver Broncos: record in close games

Picking a bunch of teams that went 15-2 or 14-3 last season to regress and then doing a victory lap when they don’t win 14 games again is very low-hanging fruit. Of course a 14-3 team like the Broncos are very likely to win fewer games, what other way could they realistically go? But it’s also reality that the Broncos have regression coming.

The Broncos won 14 games last season and went 11-2 in games decided by eight points or less. They were 6-2 in games decided by three points or less. Having a fantastic defense and a great coach in Sean Payton gives Denver an edge in close games, but a record that lopsided in close games is not repeatable. We saw with the 2025 Chiefs that a record far above .500 in close games can sharply turn around the next season.

Jacksonville Jaguars: plexiglass principle

Famed baseball analyst Bill James invented a concept decades ago called the“plexiglass principle,”which simply states that a team that improves greatly one season is bound to come back to the pack the following season. The Jaguars went from four wins in 2024 to 13 in 2025. Not much about Jacksonville’s 13-4 record was fluky, but it also will be very hard to replicate.

Here are two more tangible reasons: The Jaguars did almost nothing to improve the roster this offseason, and they had great fumble luck last season. This offseason, the Jaguars signed the fewest free agents (six) for the least amount of money ($33 million) around the NFLaccording to Spotrac, and also didn’t have a first-round pick in the NFL Draft due to the Travis Hunter trade in 2025.

In addition, the percentage of fumbles recovered is almost entirely luck, and Jacksonville recovered64.3% of fumbles last season, the second-luckiest mark in the NFL. That drove a +13 turnover differential that was third in the NFL. It’s hard to see a roster that had more losses than gains in the offseason being better in 2026.

Carolina Panthers: overachievement

We remember the Panthers as being on the rise because they were in the playoffs and then played the Rams tough in the wild-card round, but it’s not like Carolina was very good last season. They went 8-9 andonly got into the playoffs because of a result elsewhere in the divisionon the final Sunday.

The Panthers also overachieved to get eight wins. Of those eight wins, seven came by seven points or less and six were by three points or less. They were outscored by 69 points. They finished 25thin DVOA, ranking 25th on offense and 21st on defense. They were 26th in EPA (expected points added) per play on offense and 23rd in EPA per play allowed on defense. On top of not being a very good team last season, the Panthers now get the third toughest schedule in the NFLaccording to SharpFootball.com.

Carolina did spend some money on defensive help in free agency and it is a fairly young team that could improve from last season, but also don’t be surprised if the Panthers take a step back.

  • In March 2003, Maines made a brief comment ahead of a London concert, voicing her disapproval of the Iraq war and then-President George W. Bush

Natalie Maineshas called out PresidentDonald Trump.

On Monday, May 18,The Chicks'bandleader — who has long been outspoken about politics — shared anInstagram postcalling out Trump, 79, and the U.S. government.

"Our democracy is disappearing right before our eyes," Maines, 51, began the caption. "This fugly slut is using your gas money to pay the insurrectionists. But don't worry about it. I'm sure posting selfies will fix everything."

She continued, "My last post that called him a fugly slut got removed. We'll see how long this one lasts. Repost and help the message live. Named 1M times in the #epsteinfiles #democracy #freespeech #fuglyslut."

Alongside the caption, the "Gaslighter" singer shared a series of photos including one of Trump, as well as what appear to be images ofTrump voters who stormed the U.S. Capitol in January 2021.

Maines' post comes 23 years after she made a brief comment ahead of a London concert in March 2003, voicing her disapproval of the Iraq war and then-PresidentGeorge W. Bush.

“Just so you know, we're on the good side with y'all,” she said at the time. “We do not want this war, this violence. And we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas.”

Afterward, Maines' comments sparked backlash, as fans burned their CDs and radios banned their music from the airwaves, which at the time included their 2002 track "Travelin' Soldier," which peaked at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart. The country trio's music career stalled amid the controversy.

In March 2020, Maines and bandmates Martie Maguire and Emily Strayer appeared onThe Ellen DeGeneres Show, where they reflected on being among the first entertainers to be blacklisted forpublic comments considered to be controversial.

“I think we were one of the first people to feel that ‘cancel culture' and I think, you know, what we said — or, whatIsaid — back then would not even be a thing today because it was really mild compared to what people say today,” said the lead vocalist.

In April 2020, Mainesspoke toAllureabout the fallout of her statements and revealed how shocked she was that thecountry music industry was so swift to ostracize themat the time.

“When we started doing this music, I liked the people in our industry. We always waved that country flag when people would say it wasn't cool. And then to see how quickly the entire industry turned on us,” she recalled.

Maines continued: “I wanted the audience to know who we were and what we were about. I do not like when artists get on their soapbox — it's not what people are there for; they're there to listen to your music — [but] the politics of this band is inseparable from the music.”
