Yes, it's that part of the summer when training camps open, and pre-season games are not far behind. 

Here's a schedule of the teams that matter in this area:

Minnesota Vikings: Rookies report 7-24 Veterans 7-27

Eagles: Rookies 7-25 Veterans 7-25

Green Bay Packers: Rookies 7-25 Veterans 7-25

Pittsburgh Steelers: Rookies 7-24 Veterans 7-25

Seattle Seahawks: Rookies 7-25 Veterans 7-25

Obviously, the NFL Network and ESPN will be stirring up rumors of dissension and conflict in the training camps as well as full 24-hour coverage of holdouts, which can be annoying. Just know that in a mere couple of weeks, we will be seeing live preseason games on TV and I can't wait.

Here are some storylines to watch:

  • How does Carson Wentz look in coming back from ACL surgery?
  • How does Deshaun Watson look in coming back from ACL surgery?
  • Are the Rams for real? Will they finally sign Aaron Donald to an extension?
  • Will Earl Thomas end his holdout or be traded?
  • Will the Cowboys continue to underachieve under Jason Garrett?
  • Also are people going to kneel for the flag this year?

Hopefully, we can focus on football this year and leave the politics to the news channels.
