Players
In the off-season teams release players if their contracts are over or else they offer them a new one. Players also retire in this stage when they become too old to play or else they sustain injuries they will never recover from.
Scouting & The Draft
Scouting & The Draft
Scouting also happens at this stage. Teams scout players in college so they know how good they are when they appear in the NFL draft in April. This draft happens every year and every team drafts more or less 7 players in the seven rounds. Each team is assigned one of the 32 picks depending on where they finish in the league. The last team gets the first pick of every round but anyone can trade away the picks for better ones or players. This year the projected number 1 player is Johnny (Football) Manziel. Teams draft players depending on the team needs. If teams franchise player (the player their team is based around) retires, the team drafts a player in that position early or gets a great player. Teams can get their star player early but can luck out by drafting late for example - Tom Brady drafted in the 6th round and now has 3 Super Bowl rings - or - Arian Foster who was undrafted and now is one of the best RB's in the league - or drafting quite early for example - Russel Wilson drafted in 3rd round and now in this year's Super Bowl.
After the Draft Spring Training begins. Spring Training is the training of the rookies and previous players to help understand each other better. Coaches also have the opportunity to create new plays especially for new players or they can tailor plays to suit certain players. After Spring Training and in August the Pre - Season starts.
Pre - Season
Pre - Season is as the name sounds. It is the games before the regular season. These games are mainly for teams to try new plays, test out rookies and get players back into game situations. Big name players who are valuable to the team tend not to play to avoid injuries. The Pre - Season consists of 4 games against teams they would not normally play. Enjoy Watching!
