The time between the NFL draft And the training camps The beginning is considered a dead time around the league. But the 32 teams are already preparing for the season.
In the coming months, the teams will hold their ota (organized team activities) and will have mini-camps. A majority of the big questions that the teams answered a training camp or the pre-season, but what is happening in May and June is also important.

Here are 10 scenarios to follow during the OTAs and mini-camps:
Aaron Rodgers decision
No, you don't get away from it. The path Rodgers portrayed the calendar Because his decision was that there is none. He said to any team involved that he did not make a decision right away, because he deals with an off -scope problem with someone in his inner circle, and there would be no grudge if the teams passed without him. Well, there is Really not a lot of choices for Pittsburgh Steelers More, unless they breaks the Kirk Cousins glass and exchange against the quarter of the Falcons. We all assume that Rodgers will be a quarter of the Steelers, but until this decision is made, we are waiting. He will be looming on the off -season of the Steelers.
When will Micah Parsons be paid?
The cowboys seem to appreciate to wait to pay their stars, even if it costs them more at the end. This seems to be what is happening with Parsons, one of the NFL's elite players who will be paid as such. Parsons attend the Cowboys training sessionsWhich seems to be a decision in good faith of the player during the negotiations. The question does not really seem to be if or even how many pars will be paid, it is when he gets it.
The Browns QB competition, including Sheder Sanders, begins
Presumably, Joe Flacco will start the season as a quarter of the Cleveland Browns. This is the only team in which quarter 4 entering the OTA will be the story. Sheder Sanders probably starts the offseason behind Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel on the painting of depths, but the way this competition takes place will be fascinating. Will the Browns keep four quarters? Can Sanders rise through the depth board to be the main backup? Each part of the competition will be dissected.
Jets of new looks with Justin Fields
No one expects New York Jets to be very good in the first season of Aaron Glenn as a coach, but organizational reset is worth watching. At the top of this list is Justin Fields, the new quarter-arre that receives another blow to settle down as soon. It will be very different from the without success of Aaron Rodgers.
JJ McCarthy starts his close -up
The Vikings of Minnesota went 14-3 last season, then decided to make a big change. Sam Darnold left for Seattle Seahawks, and the first round choice in 2024 JJ McCarthy is involved. He says he is entirely healthySeeing it in action will be the test. The ota of the Vikings start on May 27 and their compulsory mini-cap is from June 10 to 12. How much McCarthy will be a huge story of these training sessions.
Massive extension of Brock Purdy
Purdy is about to obtain a hell of a increase. Purdy's salary was $ 985,000 last season and its extension could be worth more than $ 50 million per year. The 49ers gave each indication that the Purdy Agreement will be made this offseason, now it is a question of determining the details and announced it. This should happen at one point this summer, then its details of contract will be the NFL speech for a while.
COLTS QB competition
The colts brought Daniel Jones to compete with Anthony Richardson, the fourth choice of the NFL 2023 draft which did not play well enough to be the established starter of the colts in third year. The colts want Richardson to find consistency and wins the work. The question, starting with the OTAs, is so Richardson answers the competition well.

The role of Travis Hunter takes shape
The way Jaguars use Travis Hunter will be closely monitored. The overall choice n ° 2 of the NFL draft will start mainly in attack, but the jaguars will also use it at the cornerback. Jaguars coach Liam Coen said the team has a plan for all of this, and perhaps we will see an overview of how this will take place during the OTA.
“From the point of view of planning, we have arranged everything, but we must also have the ability to be agile and to be fluid on specific days,” said Coen This off -season. “If we feel like we don't have enough work on one side of the ball the day before, then we must be able to move forward and make these representatives the next day.”
Michael Penix Jr. and Kirk Cousins have new roles
Penix is the starter of the Falcons of Atlanta, the team clearly indicated it. But Cousins is still on the list, may be negotiated down or maybe not. This will make things a little embarrassing during the off -season training sessions, since the last intersane cousins were the starter with the $ 180 million contract and Penix was its recruit lining. The cousins will probably manage the situation as a professional, but as long as it is there, it will be a huge story in Atlanta.
Marvin Harrison Jr., Take 2
The recruit season of Harrison did not go as well as the Cardinals of Arizona. He was not bad but was not an instant star either. The shuffle of media of his second season began, coach Jonathan Gannon said “Wait until this guy is playing this year.”
This guy played an incredible balloon for us, but if you speak to him, he would be the first to tell you, like: “I need to improve in these couples”, and, guy, he went to work on them “, Gannon said crazy dog sports. “He went to work on them. He looks great right now.”
