Why not pay the man for his hard work on the game without being a free loader.


But you CAN play the game for free, if JD wasn't OK with this he wouldn't format it, would he?

When in the schedule makes the most sense? Should we have the two camps back-to-back or should the mini-camp run right after the draft and before late FA?


I would say run the rookie mini-camp after the Draft, and before Late FA... But shorten Late FA by one "day":

1) This jives with the NFL schedule, which gives team the option of 2 weekends just after the Draft to hold rookie mini-camps.

2) If we get a very general idea if our rookie draftees are "boom or bust", we can better target in late Free Agency.

3) No lengthening of the pre-preseason, and makes late Free Agency even more 'fiesty' and competitive.

I'm undecided, really, as if I like this idea or not. It does prove more if rookie players will be a 'boom' or 'bust' in the long run, but not sure if it will affect any of the other players on the squad.

What I am trying to say is, do all players participate in the mini camp, or is this camp only specifically for rookie players from the draft, not including free agency?

I didn't think I was going to say this, but...

The idea of a rookie camp prior to training camp is starting to grow on me. I think it would be nice to have two camps worth of development to evaluate before deciding to keep one of these players or not. It might also get some of these rookies seeing playing time earlier.

I guess this idea has kind of grown on me.


I like that idea!
