Training camps: back to school is from July 19 to 24
The more or less obligatory spring training is over. Now the next step is training camp, the real one.
The NFL has released the start dates for all teams. As usual, the rookies will arrive first, a few days before the rest of the squad.
The first to resume will be the Ravens rookies on July 13. In terms of full squads, it is the Bears who will be the first to train on July 19. All franchises will meet in the following days, until July 24, when preparations for the Steelers, Colts, Cowboys and Falcons begin.
Soon a match in Ireland for the Steelers?
Dan Rooney, director of Business Development and Strategy and member of the family that owns the Steelers, spoke to the BBC this Wednesday about the possibility of a meeting in Ireland.
“It’s a goal we’ve had from the beginning, to have the opportunity to play a match in front of our Irish fans. We’re working on it with the NFL and we can’t wait to see what happens.”
Rooney added that his team would like to play at Croke Park in Dublin. The Steelers also played a preseason game in 1997 in this stadium.
The NFL is still continuing its international development and Ireland, with a large contingent of fans, has already been mentioned several times. This season, three regular season matches will be played in England, one in Germany and one in Brazil.
Towards a salary cap for quarterbacks?
On Wednesday, NFL Media reported that several owners are privately discussing the possibility of a separate salary cap for quarterbacks.
The reason for this is the insane amounts of contracts signed by the players in the top position. The goal would be to prevent the quarterback’s salary from exceeding a certain percentage of the payroll.
For example, Joe Burrow’s salary ($55 million per season, leading quarterback) accounts for almost a quarter of the Bengals’ payroll, which leaves “only” 75% to share for the rest. players.
For the moment, the idea remains only at the discussion stage and a change in the economic structure in this direction is not expected in the near future.

Travis Kelce likes Chiefs ring mistake
The Chiefs’ ring for their third Super Bowl contains a small error: the Dolphins are ranked seventh in the ring engraving when they were sixth in reality.
Teased on the subject by his brother Jason in his podcast ”New Heights” this Wednesday, Travis Kelce (TE, Chiefs) has ”nothing to do” and does not intend to have his ring modified.
“I like the fact that we didn’t care about Miami’s standings. They were seventh. So what ? […] Yes, we did it very detailed and oops, we made a mistake. It makes it more special. »
AJ Brown wants to bring receivers together
AJ Brown (WR, Eagles) would like to have a gathering for the receivers, as the tight ends have been doing for several seasons with Tight End University.
”Receivers where are you?” Brown said on X this Wednesday. “The tight ends get together for a weekend. The defensive backs are in contact. Even the pass rushers find themselves. Come on guys, we can’t think we’re stars so much that we don’t come together and learn from others. I’m a fan of everyone and I want to work with everyone. »
Tyreek Hill (WR, Dolphins) already seems interested.
