This is the time of year when just about everything NFL news related you hear is likely fabricated, made up or otherwise simply a prediction based on little to no actual factual information.
Some NFL teams actively spread disinformation. Others go out of their way to disguise their hopes and dreams in other manners. Some teams have too many “Plan Bs” to truly have a Plan A. And, too many NFL writing types have nothing substantive to actually write about so we devolve into prognostication that rarely, if ever, pans out.
The current tip of the iceberg rumors surround your Houston Texans and the Carolina Panthers.
