Changes coming to NFL Offseason (Possibly) (1 Viewer)

2013 NFL combine -- NFL pushing for changes to offseason, sources say - ESPN

I wish they'd leave it alone. I actually think that if the NFL would have regular season games in August it would really help claim that real estate thats kind of bleak.

I say they move everything a month earlier.

I like the idea of regional combines playing into the actual combine. More build up

My God is the NFL that hungry for more money?

Yep!

The idea is to lengthen the NFL offseason and make sure football is relevant during a longer offseason period with one big event in each month. It also would create a new revenue stream for the NFL, with each event producing added money for the league.

I hope they don't do anymore harm to the NFL Draft. I look forward to it after the end of every season

Jesus, I hate the NFL powers that be SO much. What'll they think of next to make a few bucks and grab a couple headlines?

That dog-gone good for nothing Goodell just wants to tinker with everything.

he already ruined part of the draft by dragging it out over 3 days. I used to love watching from early morning to late at night on a Saturday

When I first found out that it was going to be split up between 4 days, it felt like a combination of getting socks for Christmas and getting kicked in the scrotum.

I admire you guys that get into the draft. It's hard for me to watch really. Way too much down time followed by the ginger saying a line or two then some applause/boo's then media speculation. Rinse and repeat.

We share the same pain

 

[Saintaholic]

It boggles my mind that this league is constantly trying to fix something that isn't broken.

"Profits are at an all-time high and the game is as popular as ever. What should we do? I know, let's change it!"

I only watch the first round of the draft...that's all my ADDism allows me.....

 

[nolafan33]

Because that is what we need, a longer offseason.

Sure, as long as guys don't mind waiting on where they may or may not be playing the next season; less time to get ready for the season for all teams, especially the new players (including draftees and potential hold outs). Screw the fans, they are just the people supporting this mess. I know I won't contribute anymore to that idiot's salary.

IMO, the Draft should be moved up to mid-March. The combine is this weekend and after the pro days, it really shouldn't need to take you much longer if your scouting department has been doing their jobs
