All you have to do is . 1. Franchise tag window opens: headlines list of players who might get taggedYou know the NFL offseason has officially started when the franchise tag window opens, which means that, as of today, the NFL offseason has officially started. For the next two weeks, each team is allowed to designate one franchise player, and once that happens, the two sides will have until July to work out a long-term deal. If no deal is reached, then the player will get a one-year deal in 2022 at the franchise tag number, which is different for each position. (This year the number ranges from $5.22 million for kickers to $29.70 million for quarterbacks.)Last season, a total of 10 teams used the franchise tag, which means nearly one-third of the NFL took advantage of it.

Aaron Rodgers shares lengthy me sage of gratitude on InstagramAs an NFL writer, half my job during the offseason consists of trying to decipher me sages that players post on social media, and we got a big one Monday when Aaron Rodgers dropped a 300-word me sage on Instagram.Here's :He profe sed his love for Shailene Woodley, who he is no longer with.He got reflective talking about everyone in the Packers' QB room.He got reflective talking about his closest friends on the team.He got reflective talking about all of his teammates, including his former ones.The fact that Rodgers got reflective in his me sage should at least be mildly concerning if you're the Packers. It could mean he's thinking about retirement or that he's ready to move on from the team. Of course, it could also mean absolutely nothing and that he just wanted to use Instagram to show some gratitude to the people he loves. Basically, this could be Rodgers' way of saying goodbye to the Packers or it could be his way of saying he's coming back or it could be his way of confusing everyone as much as po sible. It's Rodgers Braydon Coburn Kids Jersey , so who knows.No matter what Rodgers decides, we probably won't be waiting long to find out. After winning his fourth MVP on Feb. 10, Rodgers said he would He also said in late January that he wanted to make a decision about his future by the time the franchise tag window opened so Davante Adams could figure out his future.Rodgers had a chance to clear things up during a Tuesday appearance on "The Show," but he offered no new information. "There will be no news today, no decision on my future," Rodgers told McAfee. Regarding his lengthy social media post, Rodgers told McAfee that he just came out of a 12-day cleanse and his first thought was "intense gratitude" for the people in his life. Basically, all of this means that we're all going to have to continue to play the waiting game. 4. Bubble bursts: No one will be boycotting the NFL CombineRemember that story yesterday about how the NFL combine could be facing a huge boycott this year? Yeah, well, that's not going to happen. The boycott is officially off after the organization that runs the combine -- the National Invitational Combine -- caved in to the demands being made by agents of more than 150 players who will be attending the event.Here's :Players don't have to stay in a secure area. Under the original proposal for the combine, the NFL was going to set up a bubble for all players attending and players weren't going to be allowed to leave that bubble. That rule has now been changed and players will be allowed to leave the secure area that the NFL will be setting up. Players can meet with support staff in secure areas, but only one at a time. Under the original proposal, a player could only bring ONE member of their support staff with them into the secure area, but now, they can bring in multiple members, although those members can only enter the Dominik Masin Kids Jersey secure area one at a time. So if a player wants to work with his trainer, he can bring him in, then kick out his trainer and bring in his nutritionist for lunch.Players can meet with anyone they want (trainers, nutritionists, coaches, etc.) outside the secure area. Under the original rules for this year, one of the biggest i sues was that players weren't going to be allowed to travel with their support staff or if they did travel with them, they weren't going to be allowed to meet with them since each player was only going to be allowed to invite one member of their support staff in the bubble. Under the new rule, any player can leave the bubble and meet with their support team outside the NFL's restricted area. Although these conce sions by the NIC will end the threat o
