Cleveland has a built-in audience, a solid offensive line, and two burgeoning stars in Richardson and Gordon. They're not that far away from competing, especially since the Bengals and Ravens can never seem to get over the hump.
As for Carolina, they have running backs to trade as well as Newton. It could potentially be a clean slate for the newcomers with a solid defense in place and a division undergoing transformation.
As for San Diego, what could be better than living in San Diego, having both offensive and defensive talent with the possibility of moving to one of the hottest spots in the country in Los Angeles?

Ravens and Steelers are pretty big obstacles for Cleveland. While I like Richardson, I'm not banking on a RB.
Carolina would be fine, but many thought he might have already gone there if there was true interest on his part. Again, home isn't always the best landing spot for an NFL coach.
SD is OK, but I'm not impressed with their roster. Injured RB, sub-par WRs, regressing QB, OK defensive talent. Pretty "meh" in my view, but living in SD could be worse, for sure.
KC, has much potential on the roster, and the fan base/atmosphere is second-to-none when things are up and running. I honestly believe that a coach might look at KC's roster and think it's a QB away. That might be a bit optimistic in reality, but it's really not that far from true, either.
