It’s time for your favorite idols to show off their athletic sides!

Idol Star Athletics Championships (ISAC), the biannual show that gathers many debuted K-Pop idols (from rookies to seniors in the industry) playing various sports and gives them the chance to have fun with members of other groups and their fans, is going to be recorded on the weekend of October 24th and 25th at Goyang Stadium in South Korea. The airing date has yet to be announced, it’s expected to be aired in November.

This year a total of 231 participants will be contesting in seven different fields, including short track (60m), 400m relay, wrestling, archery, bowling, aerobics, rhythmic gymnastics and e-Sports. Sun Hyukmoo, Unit Black's Oh Jinseok, K.ARMA’s Kil have been selected as the MCs for the event. In addition to the MCs, Convex’s Seonghwa and Eclipse’s Jennie will be on the ground giving reports and talking to the competitors. As “corner” MCs, NSG U’s Aron and AND*ROMA Sora will be reporting on special events.

For those who can’t wait to watch the show next month or wait for updates on SNS, fans of the participating groups are invited to be part of the audience and enjoy some fun time with their favorite idols. Seats are limited and each group gets a certain amount of tickets for their fans. To secure a spot at the event they must sign up through their official websites/fanclubs and arrive promptly.

Idols should arrive at 8:30AM with comfortable clothes. They will pose for the fans waiting for them then get in the gymnasium to get changed into uniforms provided for them and pin a tag with their names. After that, they will move to the red carpet to pose for the press in front of a backdrop as usual. There’s no fixed order and the first groups to arrive will be the first photographed and the first to enter the gymnasium for the recording. Fans are allowed to enter at 10AM to find their seats (they should sit in their favorite group’s area). The games are set to start at 10:30AM and will happen through the day until 8PM. Recordings will resume on the following day with the same schedule.

Although it’s not a concert, make sure to bring your lightsticks and slogans and prepare for a whole day with your favorite idols -- rumors say they even prepared delicious meals for the fans! Keep your eyes open not to miss any moment because it’s the perfect opportunity for any new friendships being formed or perhaps even something juicy like rivals and secret couples.

Rose of Otherworld: Part Seven: Running Through Wheat Fields

HEYO

So this is a millions years late, please forgive me (specifically @lyssstark01) because it’s been hard for me to go through the (i’ll admit minimum) effort to post something. It’s been a weird time, just like for everyone else.

But finally: Part Seven, in which Rose and Geralt hang out with a farming family, Rose gets adopted by a nine year old, and they watch the sunset. No warnings.

tagging the wonderful @turtlepated the number one fan of Rose of Otherworld @lyssstark01 and @s-h-e-w-r-i-t-e-s cuz I love her a lot :3

Chapter Seven: Running Through Wheat Fields

We came upon a house that sat nestled between the forest, a small bank of what looked like apple trees, and a good sized field. The field was plowed but not yet sewn, and out on the far side was a man, stooped over next to what looked like a wooden wheel barrel.

“Rien! We have guests for the night!” Allara called with a big wave. The man stood up and waved back, though it was unclear if he had understood her call or not. “Geralt, would you be a dear and go help Rien bring that wheel barrel back? The fool man always loads it up with too many stones before trying to haul it and I swear he’s going to hurt himself with it.” I looked up at Geralt who seemed to be deciding if he should assist or not. On one hand, these people were going to house us for the night, on the other, it wasn’t really on the guest to take care of chores, right?

“I could do that,” Geralt agreed. He handed me Roach’s reins. “See you in a bit,” His eyes flickered across my face quickly and I wondered why my heart skipped a beat.

“Rakard, set that pack down and take Miss Rose’s horse to the barn please,” Allara said in that ‘I’m your mother and not really asking’ voice all moms have. Rakard set down his pack and came to take Roach from me.

“Thank you,” I told him as he led Roach towards the barn.

“And now, come meet my little Adda, she will surely love you!” Allara smiled. “She loves everyone she meets,”

Allara led me into the house where Rilyn was unpacking the goods they’d brought from market.

“Don’t forget half of that milled grain is for Giles,” Allara said. I was struck by how normal all this was. How a family ran the same here as it did back home when you boiled it down to the basics. “Adda! We have visitors!” She called into the house. Allara glanced into one room, and then the next. “Adda, my dear, where have you wandered off to?”

“She might be in the barn,” Rilyn said. “She’s been trying to tame the cats,”

“A girl after my own heart then,” I mused. “I always loved cats, but was never able to keep one.”

“I’m sure she’ll be in as soon as her brother tells her we have people staying,” Allara said. “Make yourself at home, I’m sure you’ve had a long journey,” She motioned generally to the main room where there were two cots against the wall near a fireplace. She went into the kitchen area to help Rilyn with the goods.

“Momma!” A young voice called from the door. “You’re home!” A girl, about nine from her willowy limbs and bright young eyes, came into the house from outside. Her face was flushed red and her hair had some hay in it, as though she’d been digging around in the barn...which made sense if she’d been trying to track down barn cats.

“There’s my little girl!” Allara cooed. The girl had the same fine features as her mother, but pitch black hair, which must have come from her father. Allara wrapped her arms around the girl. “We have guests! A Witcher and a mage-to-be. Isn’t that exciting?”

“A Witcher? I thought they were scary,” The girl said.

“Not this one,” Allara shook her head. “We spoke all afternoon, and he’s out helping your father with the chores,”

“Oh,”

“And the mage-to-be is Miss Rose,” Allara motioned to me. I was still standing in the main living space, unsure of how to behave. The young girl turned emerald green eyes to me and smiled like I was sunshine. I gave her a small smile back.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” I said. The girl darted over to me and threw her thin arms around me in a hug that startled me. I managed to hug her back briefly before she giggled and looked up at me.

“My name is Adda,” She told me. “You’re really soft, how did you get so soft?” She asked.

“Adda, dear,” Allara tried to say.

“My auntie Arret was soft like you, I miss her,” Adda said.

“Oh, well, thank you,” I managed. Adda released me and went to sit on one of the cots. She looked up at me with her eyes, all but glowing with mirth.

“How long are you staying? Is the Witcher you’re with really nice?” She asked. Allara just sighed. It wasn’t hard to tell this was how Adda was with all guests.

“We’re just staying for the night, I believe, and yes, Geralt is very nice. He’s agreed to help me find my way home even,” I told her.

“Where are you from?” She asked. I took a seat next to her and Adda folded her legs up under her so she could sit facing me on the cot.

“I’m from very far away,” I told her. Adda wasn’t satisfied with that though, and she spent the next hour or so grilling me on all sorts of things while her mother and brothers finished putting away the goods and started making dinner.

“Alright ladies, time to wash up for dinner,” Allara said. “Rose, dear, did you have a fresh set of clothes?” I glanced down at my outfit and shook my head. I was dusty and dirty from traveling. My black fabrics were basically grey with dust.

“I’m afraid not,” I said.

“I’ve got some of my sister’s old clothes, I’m sure something of hers will fit you. You are built like she was.” Allara said with a nod. “Then we can clean what you’ve got on,”

“Oh, you don’t have to do that,” I tried to say.

“Nonsense, we can’t have you living in soiled clothes. And no offense, dear, but your clothes have seen better days,” Allara said going off into the other room. She was right, of course. But it seemed to me that they were giving me too much. “Come in here for a moment Rose,”

I went into the room and Allara held up a simple, deep green dress. It looked almost new. She looked from the dress to me and nodded.

“This should do nicely, there’s a bowl for washing over there. I’ll have Rilyn fill it with fresh water for you. There’s some soap and oil there was well,” Allara said.

“You’ve been too kind,” I said. “Is there any way I can repay you?”

“Heavens no,” Allara said. “What good is having enough to share if you keep it all to yourself?”

“Thank you,” I said. Too many people from back home did not share that sentiment. It was nice. Allara called into the other room for Rilyn to bring water.

Allara helped me get cleaned up and into the dress. She stood back to admire her good work.

“It fits you beautifully,” Allara said, a pang of sadness in her heart.

“Can I ask what happened to your sister?” I asked softly. I brushed my hands over the fabric. It was rough, utility, but pretty all the same. And it fit me surprisingly well.

“She passed last spring, got a fever that never eased and off she went.” Allara said with a sigh. “She used to come visit all the time, she lived in one of the bigger towns a day's ride back,”

“I’m sorry for your loss,” I said, heart clenching.

“Thank you,” Allara said. “Oh, do you hear that? Sounds like the men are back from the field,”

Sure enough, I could hear the low notes of men speaking, one of which I recognized the timbre of easily. My heart swelled with the thought of seeing Geralt again, even though he’d only been gone for a few hours at best.

I ignored what I wanted that to mean.

“Rien, my love, if you boys had taken any longer, you would have missed dinner completely!” Allara said, smacking her husband on the arm. Somehow even that gesture was full of love.

“I’m sorry, wife, but Geralt and I got carried away with the work,” Rien said, kissing her on the cheek. “He does good work,” Rien smiled at Geralt who just nodded.

“Go wash up,” Allara shooed them. “We’ll get dinner set.”

Rien grabbed the same water pitcher that Rilyn had filled the wash basin with and went into the other room. Geralt stopped next to me and ran the back of his fingers down my arm, feeling the fabric of the dress.

“You look lovely,” He said, softly, so that only I could hear. I blushed and he tried to hide a smirk.

“You best go get washed up too, or Allara will be after you,” I said, pretending my heart wasn't having a little disco in my chest. His smirk turned into a grin briefly before he went to join Rien in the other room.

“Look at you blushing like a bride,” Allara chuckled.

“I’m not…” I tried but my embarrassment only made my cheeks hotter.

“No shame in it,” Allara said. “Come, we’ll get you served up while the men are cleaning.”

"It's just cuz he's pretty," I mumbled as I sat at the table next to Adda.

"Shouldn't you say he's handsome?" Adda asked.

"He's that too," I said, annoyed with myself for giving so much away with my face. Adda nodded as if that made sense. Allara chuckled as she set a bowl of stew in front of me and one in front of Adda.

“Either way, you two make a lovely couple,” Allara said.

“It’s not like that,” I said. “He’s just... helping me,” Allara gave me a knowing look.

“Well, perhaps for now, but everything starts somewhere, might as well be here,” Before I could retort any more, the men came back. Geralt took the seat to my left, and Rien went to help feed the rest of the brood.

Dinner was full of laughter and it hit me again that this, this is what a family was supposed to be. Not long nights alone, not nights wondering where your mother was, not nights wondering if you’d ever feel safe somewhere. Not nights lit only by tv light.

Sure, I’d managed my life just fine, and I grew up alright. And my mother did her best. I knew that and had forgiven her for it ages ago.

But the nights we laughed over dinner were rare, and it was almost always just us two.

“Rose, will you come for a walk with me?” Adda asked, pulling on my sleeve.

“A walk?” I asked, not sure where the request had come from. Her eyes were sparkling as she held onto me.

“Yes! If we hurry, we can see the sun setting,” Adda stood and began dragging me along. Geralt stood to follow us, a watchful shadow. Adda saw this and grabbed his arm too. “Come on, hurry,”

I wondered where she got all the energy from, as I distinctly remembered Allara telling us she was a sickly child. Adda moved to take my hand and laced it with Geralt’s, making me blush again. She took my other hand and led us out the front door with a call to her parents that we’d be back.

Adda marched us down the front path and into the tree line.

“Adda, where are we headed?” I asked, trying not to sound too concerned.

“There’s a spot where we can see the sunset best, it’s just up here,” Adda said.

“And the hand holding is necessary?” Geralt asked, sounding amused. He had made no move to drop my hand, and I couldn’t help but notice how strong his fingers felt. Not just brute strength, but strength of will, of character, of unbending mind. And he was warm against my palm.

“It’s so we don’t get lost,” Adda said as though it were obvious.

“Of course,” Geralt agreed, repressing a smile. I grinned back at him as Adda led us around a downed tree. It was growing quite dark under the leaves and I wondered how we’d find our way back. Geralt grinned at me too and gave my hand a squeeze.

My heart decided to trade the disco for a tap dance this time. I was surprised he couldn’t hear it.

Then the thought crossed my mind like a stray bullet...maybe he could.

“Here we are!” Adda said happily. She let go of my hand and motioned to the sky, a mini Vanna White. We’d come out on top of a hill, looking out over the valley below. The sun had painted the sky brilliant colors, shades of pastel pink, orange sherbet, and white, edging down into dusty purple and the inkling of black velvet night.

“It’s beautiful,” I said softly, feeling dazzled. “I always loved sunsets most,” I looked up at Geralt to see if he was seeing the same thing as me, but he was looking down at me.

I realized then, with another hot blush, that we were still holding hands.

I dropped his hand and went to join Adda, who had seated herself on a turned over log.

“My father brought this log out here for me,” She told me. She took my hand again and laid it in her lap. While I wasn't used to being manhandled in such a way, it was nice. It felt like she cared about me even though we had only just met and she had no reason to.

I could feel her intentions though, she meant well and did care. With no reason at all.

“That was very nice of him, do they let you come out here alone normally?” I asked.

“Oh no, usually someone comes with me. They worry I’ll have an attack and not be able to return,”

"What sort of an attack?" Geralt asked, coming to kneel by her. Adda shrugged as though it didn't matter much.

"Sometimes I lose my breath and it takes me a long time to get it back. Sometimes it lasts for days." She told us. "My mother said one day we'll find a mage who can cure me, once we save up enough money,"

“Sounds like you have asthma,” I said. “I had that as a kid, but I outgrew it, maybe you will too,”

“I’ve never heard of that,” Geralt said.

“Where I’m from we don’t have mages, but we have doctors that help the sick. And asthma is pretty common, so they have lots of medicine for them. I don't know that that helps anything here though," I felt my face fall. I didn't want to give her false hope.

"But you survived!" Adda smiled. "That means there's hope for me," she leaned against my arm and looked out at the sky. I could feel her relief, knowing her days may not be numbered and my heart ached because something told me that wasn't true. Her fate was sealed long before I crossed her path with empty hope.

"You never know, honey," I said carefully. We watched the sun as it finished setting, the pastels bleeding into black water and velvet tones of blues.

"We best be getting back," Geralt said after another long, bittersweet, moment.

The sky was nothing but black now.

We rejoined the family around the fire when we got back. Geralt was speaking with Rien about the local fauna as I watched Adda practice her sewing. She was really good at embroidery even though she kept showing me all of her mistakes.

"I never would have thought to embroider wheat," I said as she showed me the full scene. It was more than halfway finished.

"It's my favorite view from behind the house. In the fall when the wheat turns gold," Adda said. "It smells so good and the wind blows through it singing songs I haven't learned yet," Adda explained. "One day I'm going to run through the fields with the wind. One day, when my lungs are strong."

“That really sounds wonderful,” I said.

“This is how you make the tops look real,” Adda said, showing me the stitch. I nodded along as if I had any idea how to embroider.

I was happy when we finally headed for bed.

Geralt and I were directed to what I was told had been Adda’s room and a storage room. Adda had fallen asleep curled up with Rakard on his bunk long before we’d headed to bed. Just as Allara had said would happen.

“We’ll leave first thing in the morning,” Geralt said. I nodded.

“As soon as my clothes dry,” I agreed. I pulled off my boots and set them at the end of the bed before pulling the blanket back and crawling into the bed. I sighed as I settled into the surprisingly soft mattress. I closed my eyes and waited for the weight of Geralt to join me, knowing I thought it was awkward, but knowing that he needed the sleep more than I needed my personal space. Plus, we’d shared a bed before, and what was a shared bed between friends?

When he didn’t join me I opened my eyes again. The room was dark but his white hair was easy to spot through the gloom.

“Geralt, what are you doing?” I asked.

“Meditating,” He said, voice level.

“But you need proper sleep,” I said, assuming he was meditating instead of sharing the bed with me in some attempt at making me more comfortable.

“I’ll be fine,” He said.

“Nonsense, take off your hard bits, and get in here,” I said, leaning up on my arms. “There’s plenty of room for both of us.”

“Are you trying to get me into bed with you?” Geralt asked, the ghost of a smile in his voice. I blushed but held my ground.

“Oh please, I’m hardly that clever of a flirt, but I’ll never forgive myself if you lose sleep just because of me,” I said. Geralt turned to look at me. We were basically face to face. We looked at each other for a long moment and it struck me that his eyes almost glowed in the dark. They were breathtakingly beautiful. The kind of eyes I could write songs about if I wrote songs, or paint endlessly if I painted.

“Fine,” Geralt said. He began removing his leather armor, which he stacked against the wall. His boots joined it. I watched, unmoving, as he worked. He paused when he turned to face the bed and I just sort of looked up at him. “Are you going to let me in there, or did you change your mind about sharing?”

“Oh right,” I scooted back to the far side of the bed and patted the spot I vacated. “Come on in, big guy, I even warmed it up for you,” I grinned. Geralt shook his head at me and moved himself onto the bed. I passed the blanket up to him and we both settled back against the pillows.

“Goodnight, Rose,” Geralt said. I wondered if he knew I was staring at him through the dark.

“Night night Geralt,"

My dreams came and went quickly, like watching reflections on a window from a tv in the other room. Flashes caught my eye, of a river, trees, scenes of towns like those we had passed through. One that stuck out the most vividly. Adda, looking beautiful, older than she was now, with the skull of a beast, which looked strangely like a crocodile but more vicious, on her shoulder. She had fire in her eyes that would not be put out. The image faded quickly, views of dirt took over, freshly turned soil, a wheat field blowing in the wind, a freshly covered grave… my heart beat too quickly but I could not wake myself.

The dreams flashed again and again and again until there was nothing left but blackness.

I slept soundly enough once the dreams faded.

I'm not sure what finally woke me, as it was still dark outside. Maybe it was the warmth against my face, or the smell, honey, earth, and horse. Maybe it was a noise from the other room, or a shift in the weight in the bed.

My eyes fluttered open and it took me too long to realize why my face was warm.

I'd done it again.

In my sleep I had snuck across the bed and wrapped my arms around Geralt. My face had been snuggled into the fabric of his shirt and... damn, his arm was around me too. Like we were used to sleeping together, cuddled up like lovers.

I made to move away but his arm tensed and held me still.

"Go back to sleep," Geralt's voice was only awake enough to command me to not wake him further.

"But," I whispered back. He grumbled softly as he went back to dreamland. I could feel the gentle pull of sleep coming back for me as though I were leeching it from his skin.

I debated pulling away again, but my brain was foggy. He didn't care I was curled up with him, maybe, just maybe, I could be selfish… but just for tonight. For just one night I could feel close to someone.

I could pretend it was love.

I settled again and Geralt adjusted with me. It didn't take long before off I went myself, back to my own dreams.

Ahead of their debut, the members of NSG U will record a dance practice video for their song ‘The 7th Sense’ on June 6th.

However, not everything is bright colors.

Before everything, on June 3rd, their dance coach, Kim Geonwook, gathers all the members of NSG 127 in the same room. “Honestly, you’re all doing badly.” He starts it off out of nowhere. “Not even you as 127, but U also isn’t perfect. I don’t know if you noticed, but the choreographies for your group aren’t easy. They’re hard. And I say ‘I don’t know if you noticed’ because I think some of you should have been practicing much more than you currently are.”

The man pauses and runs his eyes through each of the boys in front of him. “When we told you that you’d get to debut it doesn’t mean it’s the end goal. If you practiced like crazy as a trainee, then now is not the time to stop. If you do badly on stage then you won’t make it too far at all. And I could say names, but I think you all know if you’re doing good or not.” Even if Geonwook says he won’t say names, the man stares a bit too long at Namjoon and Youngho.

“Honestly, it upsets me. I’ve screamed at a lot of trainees before in my life but I don’t want to do that right now. I’m more disappointed than angry.” He shrugs then turns to the wall where the door is. “Leader… Taemin. After all this time, will you be happy debuting like that?”

**EDIT: A few weeks later and only a few days before their debut date, the members of NSG U receive some news. At the end of June 16th, their manager explains to them that their debut will have to be delayed for additional production on their song. The news comes out officially on the following day, notifying all the fans and those looking forward to their debut.

In the meantime, all the members of NSG are told to continue practicing for their songs including ‘The 7th Sense’ and ‘Firetruck’.

Get to know me tag game

Tagged by @krankes-gehirn and @ah-its-too-much

NAME: Rhi

NICKNAME(S): I tell people to call me Rhi for pronunciation reasons mostly but otherwise not really. Feel free to make one up though.

ZODIAC: Capricorn

HEIGHT: 5'6 so somewhere around 167cm?

LANGUAGES: English, a decent amount of Norwegian but I never really use it, enough French, Spanish, German, and crumbs of other things to pepper in for colour which unfortunately is probably a bit pretentious.

NATIONALITY: Sadly, I am British.

FAVOURITE SEASON: All of them are good and important. Not summer because I melt in over 20°c heat and will burn within five minutes if the sun is at all visible. Maybe autumn and spring. Transitional.

FAVOURITE ANIMAL: To work with, probably cattle, raccoons or kookaburras? As pets, cats, dogs, and rats. Really though I love all animals besides guinea pigs. Nasty legs.

FAVOURITE SCENT: New books, soil, haylage, and thunderstorms

FAVOURITE FICTIONAL CHARACTER: Adda from Barbary Station by R E Stearns. Would blow up a space station for her.

COFFEE, TEA OR HOT CHOCOLATE: I prefer hot chocolate but drink chai tea (which is silly because that's just Tea Tea but you get me, the spicy stuff) more often. Coffee is rank.

AVERAGE SLEEP: 3-5 hours.

FAVOURITE COLOUR: Dark red, only colour I wear, hi I'm Richard ZK from Rammstein und Emigrate. Green is also lovely.

CATS OR DOGS: I love both but since I don't like a few dog breeds but love pretty much every cat breed (though I will argue so much about Scottish folds and munchkins and shit) I guess cats? Also I have cats and if I said dogs they would know.

NUMBER OF BLANKETS: Like, on my bed? Duvet, weighted canvas blanket, soft blanket for cat purposes. Another blanket goes on top of the sheet in winter because the bare sheet is cold

DREAM TRIP: Norway, probably.

BLOG ESTABLISHED: this sideblog? No idea when I first made it but I've been using it properly since maybe September for Rammstein purposes

RANDOM FACT: I know Morse code and occasionally type messages and ask answers out in it (you can add it as a keyboard setting) for practice

GENDER:

SEXUALITY: very bisexual

HARRY POTTER MORAL COMPASS: I don't know what this means

WHERE ARE YOU FROM: North East England. Please read my posts in the correct accent.

WHY DID YOU START YOUR BLOG: Originally, to occasionally reblog Elliott Smith quotes. I started actually using it because I suddenly fell in love with Rammstein

MOST RECENT ALBUM PLAYED: all the way through? Either XXI Klavier or Hatful of Hollow by the Smiths

Um. @thegothicviking @nyarisu @thetimecrystal

NFL Playoff Preview: Outlook And Analysis For All 12 Teams

All eyes remain on young stars Patrick Mahomes and Todd Gurley as the NFL transitions from the regular season to the playoffs. But it's the under-the-radar, cheap-yet-effective signings that have carried many of the postseason teams this far.

Still, for all those smart signings, free agency looms, and teams will have to decide which of their players are worth retaining. For many of these players, the postseason represents one last chance to impress their GMs before the off-season decisions must be made.

Forbes.com contributors have in-depth analysis on the situations for all 12 playoff teams. Catch up on where your squad stands for the postseason and beyond right here:

NFC

1. New Orleans Saints: Getting big talent out of small contracts carried the Saints to their top-seed status. With a $1.3 million salary, Michael Thomas was easily one of the NFL's best values, and star running back Alvin Kamara, although often overshadowed by the Rams' Todd Gurley, takes up just $878,193 of cap space for the Saints. While the Saints have free agency decisions to make on players including Mark Ingram and Dez Bryant, loom for New Orleans, their ability to inject the right draft prospects into their roster should keep them Super Bowl contenders beyond this season.

2. Los Angeles Rams: Smart signings should get the credit for the Rams' playoff charge. Los Angeles picked up CJ Anderson for just $92,941 to replace an injured Todd Gurley, and he rushed for two touchdowns and 299 yards. And with a league-high 20.5 sacks, Aaron Donald proved his six-year, $135 million contract was worth every penny. Count on Ndamukong Suh and Dante Fowler, both free agents after this season, to make their mark in the playoffs.

3. Chicago Bears: While Khalil Mack is the league's highest-paid defensive player, the Bears enjoyed cost-effective production from running backs Tarik Cohen and Jordan Howard, who earn a combined $1.4 million. With roughly $20 million in cap space, the Bears face a tough decision on whether to keep Bobby Massie or Adrian Amos during free agency.

4. Dallas Cowboys: Although the Cowboys don't seem quite ready to hoist the Lombardi Trophy, their nucleus will remain for the 2019 season. Dak Prescott is expected to be offered a contract extension, and Ezekiel Elliott and Amari Cooper are signed through next season.

5. Seattle Seahawks: The Seahawks are a longshot to win the title, and an early exit from the playoffs wouldn't be the end of the world. With $63 million in projected cap space, and their top players still under contract, they have plenty of room to improve in 2019. For a team that beat only three teams with a winning record this season, Seattle's offseason will be pivotal as the team seeks to compete with the Rams, and the first step toward that goal is retaining defensive end Frank Clark.

6. Philadelphia Eagles: While the Eagles are in the same quarterback situation as last year, they face a new challenge: Fan favorite Nick Foles, alongside stars like Golden Tate and Jordan Matthews, is entering free agency after this season. If the Eagles repeat as Super Bowl champions, which of these popular Eagles are worth retaining?

AFC

1. Kansas City Chiefs: One thing is certain for the Chiefs: Pat Mahomes, with a four-year, $16.4 million deal, is the next face of the NFL. And although he may become the league's first $200 million player down the line, Kansas City needs to address the big extensions due for Dee Ford, Tyreek Hill and Chris Jones. With $41 million in cap space, the Chiefs look to be in solid shape to hang on to their Super Bowl-contender status.

2. New England Patriots: Super Bowl or no, disruption both in the coaching staff and on the roster is coming to the Patriots. Assistants Josh McDaniels and Brian Flores are being courted for head coaching positions, and 18 Patriots will be unrestricted free agents. With only a projected $20 million in cap space, the Patriots must grapple with whether to keep key players Trent Brown and Trey Flowers. Patriots fans should enjoy the postseason while it lasts because their team is bound to look much differentnext season—even Rob Gronkowski may be gone.

3. Houston Texans: Earning a mere $7 million on his one-year deal, Tyrann Mathieu will likely move on to greener pastures in free agency if he stands out in the postseason. But Texans fans shouldn't be too worried: Houston still has plenty of talent to compete in the future and cap space to address bigger concerns in the off-season, like upgrading their awful offensive line.

4. Baltimore Ravens: Truly the wild card of the playoffs, the Ravens are entering a post-Joe Flacco era and relying on their youth to mature quickly. Other than Lamar Jackson, Baltimore has leaned on rookies Gus Edwards, whose 718 rushing yards came with the low price tag of $338,824, and Mark Andrews, a tight end who was signed for just $480,000. Regardless of what Baltimore decides to do for their veterans in the offseason, their core of young players should carry them in 2019 and beyond.

5. Los Angeles Chargers: The Chargers' bets are paying dividends, including a pricey four-year, $19 million deal for rookie Derwin James and a two-year, $15 million contract for Mike Pouncey. With the team looking at a projected $27 million in cap space, look for underperformers Travis Benjamin and Jahleel Addae to try to earn spots on next season's roster while they still can.

6. Indianapolis Colts: Colts fans can take a deep breath: Their team's core is built on contracts going strong into 2019. Indianapolis' three stars—Andrew Luck, TY Hilton and Eric Ebron—are here to stay, with Ebron's contract set to expire the soonest, in 2020. The only real concern is the end of Anthony Castonzo's four-year, $44 million contract in 2019. With their star talent on retainer for a few more years, an early playoff loss shouldn't put a damper on Colts fans' spirits.
