The Final Stretch: Sunday Offseason Etc. Etc.

Good evening. I find myself in good spirits. July means training camps, which start in a coupla weeks. Maybe this will be the year when coaches mix it up during joint practice skirmishes.

For me, this is the sweet spot of the offseason: the Hall of Fame game is this month, the offseason is pretty much over.

And, there’s even a mildly interesting piece of

NFL NEWS

Only two of the 2025 NFL 2nd round picks have been signed. In fact, practically every player drafted last April has signed—except 30 of the 32 second rounders. Turns out, the only two second rounders who signed got guaranteed contracts. Their unsigned peers want that too etc. etc.

I’m all for players getting as much money as they can.
