Here's gue sing you've heard enough news to last you for as many months as he was gone. And you're probably 'd out. The saga? We won't go there.Those stories -- along with the trading to Seattle and ' return to New York -- have dominated the NFL offseason. But so many more developments have gone relatively unnoticed. Case in point: receiver , who mi sed all of last season with an ankle injury, and tight end , who mi sed all but one game due to elbow and shoulder injuries, appear healthy and ready to rock for training camp. If you saw , then you know that's important.So while is huge, there were other offseason storylines that could have almost as much impact, though they involve one-tenth the money and publicity. Below are five offseason moves that could change the course of the 2015 season in unexpected ways -- under-the-radar plotlines that have the potential to shape the playoff field. While these outcomes might not be anticipated, your thoughts, as always, are ... is the place.1) The Bears hire Adam Gase as offensive coordinator.Could lead to: turning things around James Harden Jersey -- and Chicago making real noise.This move certainly qualifies as "unexpected," given that many thought Gase would have a strong shot at the vacancy left by John Fox's with the , which was itself a surprising development. Gase's presumed ascent in Denver ... didn't happen. Naturally, to lead his offense in Chicago. Can the coordinator revive Cutler's game to the point that the can make noise in the NFC North? Can he, for lack of a more creative phrase, get Cutler to care more?While pretty much everyone considers Green Bay Austin Rivers Jersey the favorite in the NFC North, the conference's wild-card spots are truly up for grabs. If Cutler -- who, let's not forget, with 18 interceptions last season -- plays more efficiently and takes better care of the ball, why couldn't Chicago compete with the , , and whoever else enters the fray? And when you think about it, the division isn't exactly set in stone, with Minnesota welcoming back to the fold and Detroit capable of splitting with the again.2) The Bills sign Tyrod Taylor.Could lead to: Buffalo stunning everyone in the AFC East (or maybe just nabbing a wild-card spot).Back in March, when the , nobody thought much of Taylor, who had spent most of his four years with the holding a clipboard -- Does anyone actually hold a cla sic clipboard anymore? -- and maybe donning a baseball cap while watching start every game. Still, Taylor got himself a ring. While he might not get another in Buffalo, he could be the difference in the ' playoff hopes. Consider:A) Coach Rex Ryan is , and the team is .B) has impre sed no one.C) lacks the mobility to run the full cadre of plays new offensive coordinator Greg Roman dials up.D) Taylor is faster than both Manuel and Ca sel. He ran a 4.51-second 40-yard dash at the NFL , and .E) The will be pounding the rock with the newly acquired (with free-agent signees and blocking), which should mitigate Taylor's accuracy i sues.Most importantly, Buffalo allowed all of 18.1 points per game last season. The need a quarterback who can run the offense, avoid forcing throws and make plays with his legs. Sounds reasonable. Could they go 10-6, maybe? Why not? And if mi ses four games, why can't the AFC East have a new champ?3) The Steelers sign DeAngelo Williams.Could lead to: Pittsburgh avoiding a disastrous start.With 's hanging over the franchise, getting some quality running back depth was hugely important to the Brodric Thomas Jersey club this offseason. If you don't believe me, please and watch rush for 19 yards and zero touchdowns on five carries in to the . Pittsburgh kicks off the 2015 season with games , and -- not a gimme in the bunch. What's more, both the Pats and boast a stout pa s rush. What better way to slow down the attack than to run the ball? What better way to keep pace in a tiiiiiight AFC North than to not start 1-2? The needed a running back who can play ... like ... now., who has nearly 7,000 rushing yards to his name and four playoff games under his belt. He knows what he's doing out there. Carry the ball 15 times per contest, provide some balance -- and maybe, with some luck, Pittsburgh goes 2-1.4) Jeremy Maclin reunites with Andy Reid.Could lead to: The shifting the balance of power in the AFC West.OK, so this wasn't as small a story as the others on our list; even casual fans were aware Maclin -- considered the best free agent receiver behind , who actually before hitting the market -- was available. That said, seemed to go slightly under the radar, perhaps minimized in the eyes of some by the destination not being New York, Chicago or Dallas. But the move, which gives quarterback a reliable pa s-catching target who doesn't play running back or tight end, could reshape the AFC West.Most people, , a sume the are one of the top-tier teams in the AFC, along with the and . But really, wasn't the disparity at receiver -- the have and ; was the ' second-leading wide receiver in 2014, with 16 catches for 260 yards -- one of the biggest things separating Denver and Kansas City? In the ' , the leading wide receivers were (40 yards in Week 2) and (30 yards in Week 13). Needle s to say, Maclin was a huge get for Reid and Co. With a solid quarterback in Smith, a fantastic running back in and a defense that can get pre sure, these guys are ready.5) Dallas lucks into La'el Collins.Could lead to: The staving off catastrophe.Nothing in pro football ever works out as planned. The were supposed to have one of the top defensive lines in the Trevelin Queen Jersey league -- then , and St. Louis was held to just one sack through Week 6. Similarly, everyone went into this offseason expecting the to once again have the best offensive line in football. But what if they didn't? What if t? Quite simply, Dallas would be doomed. A -le s backfield would struggle. Quarterback -- who has had multiple back surgeries, and who, during last season's , was walking around like Gollum -- would be vulnerable. The ' mediocre defense -- which benefited from the Sterling Brown Jersey offense's ability to win the time of po se sion battle last season -- would be exposed.That's where Collins comes in. He's a potential top-10-caliber player who -- and seemingly plopped out of the sky -- at minimal cost to the team, a first-round prospect who required zero investment of draft capital. And if he's as good as advertised, he could be the key to Dallas' season. If goes down again, Collins could step in. If something were to happen to All-Pro left tackle , the would be OK; Free could slide over to Smith's spot and Collins could line up at right tackle. Heck, Collins could even simply replace the weakest link in the unit, left guard . If the LSU product proves to be anywhere close to as good a rookie as was last season, forget about Dallas plummeting back to Earth without Murray at running back and with an aging Romo at quarterback -- the again will maul opponents, including Seattle, up front.Follow Elliot Harrison on Twitter .
