NFL 2016 Off-Season Guide #1

The NFL off-season is here. Considering we won't have any football on our T.V. screens for the next six months, the NFL's off-season is what keeps most American men from committing acts of random violence due to the lack of football being played. The NFL off-season gives every team some hope for next season. Every single NFL fan is thinking the same thing right now....

"Man, we need some new players at [insert position here]."

"I sure would love to see my team get rid of [insert player here]."

Well guess what?

That's about to happen.

NFL teams are already in full swing building the "guts" of their football team. Even though free agency doesn't start until March 15, NFL teams can sign veterans who have been cut by other teams right now in an effort to improve next season.

So, how is the average NFL fan supposed to keep track of all the madness that goes on during the off-season from all 32 NFL teams? With hundreds of players switching teams, it can all be a little overwhelming to keep track of. That's why this column is here though.

The Ultimate Sports Blog's NFL Off-season Guide is put together on a weekly basis to help YOU keep track of who's getting cut, who's signing new contracts, and any potential trades that go down. If there's a roster move, it'll be listed here. That's how we do it around here.
