Teams Gear Up for the 2024 Season
As Monday rolls around, not only is it the day to settle up with Uncle Sam for his share of the earnings from 2023, but it also marks the official start for 25 teams gearing up for the 2024 season.
Seven teams have already kicked off their offseason program, with the remaining teams set to begin on Monday. This marks the start of a three-phase process, with the initial phase focusing on lifting, conditioning, and meetings.
Press availability from coaches and players will be a common occurrence for most teams, with potential interesting quotes coming from Buffalo and Houston following the surprising trade of receiver Stefon Diggs.
Over in Pittsburgh, the spotlight is on Russell Wilson and Justin Fields as they officially begin their journey with the Steelers. Wilson, according to coach Mike Tomlin, is in the lead for the starting quarterback position, while Fields is gearing up to challenge Wilson for the spot.
Meanwhile, in Kansas City, the question looms over whether receiver Rashee Rice will be present. Regardless of his attendance, the Chiefs will need to address his legal situation and its implications.
Although the start of the football season is still a ways off, Monday signifies a tangible shift towards the 2024 season. For more than 75 percent of the league, it marks the beginning of a journey that they hope will culminate in New Orleans ten months from now.
