With organized team activities (OTAs) and mandatory minicamps over, and training camps still roughly a month away, the NFL offseason has reached its dead period.
While fans won't see any on-field activities until camps open in late July, the behind-the-scenes process of preparing for the 2023 season continues to unfold. Players may be idle, but coaches and front offices are busy and have several important decisions to make.
Those decisions can involve contract negotiations—which, for some teams, may be put off until 2024 if not settled before training camp—the evaluation of prospective roster additions, and whether specific roles will be up for grabs during camp.
