Every single year, a handful of teams in the NFL can be forced to be featured on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” if no team in the league volunteers to be on the annual reality show that gives a behind-the-scenes look at what goes on during training camp.
Last year, the New York Jets were showcased after the team acquired superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers, which turned out to be pretty entertaining and precisely what makes the show so popular from year to year.
With teams around the league not being fond of being featured on the show as it can be quite a distraction during training camp, franchises volunteering to be on the show rarely happens anymore, meaning the teams that meet the requirements to be forced on the show are usually the ones it comes down to.
According to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team, the three teams that can be forced on the show in 2024 are the Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, and New Orleans Saints.

All three of these teams have some intriguing storylines heading into the NFL offseason, with the Broncos needing to make a decision on superstar quarterback Russell Wilson’s future while the Bears have the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Along with the prospect of bringing in a potential superstar like Caleb Williams out of USC, the Bears have a chance to right the ship this offseason with the right moves.
As for the Saints, New Orleans might make some drastic changes of their own while hoping Derek Carr is the right man for the job under center.
