The start of the 2009 NFL season is four months away, but preparations are about to begin as every team conducts mini-camps.
Each team is allowed to conduct 14 organized activity sessions. If a team hired a new head coach, they are allowed two additional voluntary mini-camps.
Call it what you will – organized team activities or mandatory/voluntary mini-camps – these dates actually represent the start of the 2009 calendar year for the NFL.
It also means we’re closer to the start of the 2009 season.
