And They're Off

With Super Bowl XLVI behind us the race to Super Bowl XLVII begins. The New York Giants are the only team happy right now but all teams have work to do. It's crazy but there really is no rest. Teams are looking at their own roster. Judging if improvements in weak areas can be made with what they already have. Teams have to decide which of their own free agents need to be signed. They have to decide whether to improve positions in free agency or the draft. How best to work their money within the constraints of the salary cap.

The next date on the calendar is the Scouting Combine in a couple of weeks. Free agency starts nearly a month after that. The NFL Draft comes up a month later. Between then and training camp it's scattered mini-camps. Actually, all that busy work is a blessing compared to the ridiculous lockout of a year ago.

The players have a little time off now. Then it's getting stronger, getting better, getting ready.

For everybody, next season has already started.
