Yesterday marked a fairly significant moment for the NFL as the league continues to push toward a 2020 season. Just in time for actual practices to begin, the league lifted the prohibition against teams conducting tryouts for free agent players, which is an integral part of any preseason or regular season process.
Up to this point of the year, except for but a very brief window at the start of free agency, teams had not been permitted to host players at all unless they were under contract, and that has left many veterans in limbo, with teams not wanting to sign them without the opportunity of getting certain questions answered.
