2016 is going to be a strange season with several if the league's most known and coveted players retiring at the end of 2015.
The 2016 NFL year officially began last Wednesday and with it free agency and the trade window, the latter of which will end after the halfway mark of the regular season.
The 2016 draft will be a three-day event and will comprise 7 rounds totalling 253 selections, with the 1st pick currently belonging to the Tennessee Titans and the last going to the champion Broncos. These are unlikely to change but are still susceptible to trades. The draft takes place 28-30 April in Chicago and is viewable via the NFL Network.
The 2016 regular season will begin on September 8 with the champions hosting on Thursday Night Football, as per tradition.
The International Series has expended to 4 games this season, with two games held at Wembley, one at Twickenham and the other in the Estadio Azteca in Mexico. Scheduling is as follows: Indianapolis @ Jacksonville, October 2 (Wembley) NY Giants @ Los Angeles, October 23 (Twickenham) Washington @ Cincinatti, October 30 (Wembley) Houston @ Oakland, November 21 (Azteca)
As Christmas falls on a Sunday this year, expect most games to take place on Christmas Eve save for one which will be on Christmas Day.
The final games of the season will take place on New Year's Day 2017.
The postseason will begin on Saturday 7th January with the conference championship games held on the 22nd. Following this, the Pro Bowl will be held on the 29th.
Finally, Super Bowl LI will be on Sunday, February 5th 2017 in Houston.

Apparently Chip Kelly offered the Titans:
Any QB on the Eagles roster Any defensive player on the Eagles roster 2015 1st & 2nd round picks 2016 1st round pick
In exchange for last years 2nd overall pick, so he could get Mariota.
I dunno what's crazier - Kelly offering that or the Titans not accepting

Ravens CB Tray Walker has died after a motorcycle crash in Florida. Horrible news, he'd only been in the league a year as well.

That Eagles trade to get from 8 to 2 overall is insane when you consider they traded up just to get to 8. The list of things they gave up for that pick is mad, unless Wentz/Goff is going to be their franchise QB for years.

I daresay that's the plan.
Might be hard to displace Bradford though as he's clearly in the top 100 quarterbacks currently playing.

I'm assuming they're going for a franchise QB but Bradford will be starter this season, hopefully he'll have a good year and be worth a couple picks or some players to fill holes in a trade

Wonder what happened with Norman to go from franchise to traded in the space of a few days.

Well yeah they obviously want one of them to be their franchise QB but from what i've been hearing that's far from a certainty, and the amount they've given for the 2nd choice of the pair of them is huge. I'd not be convinced if it were my team.

Wonder what happened with Norman to go from franchise to traded in the space of a few days. Wanted huge money and was genuinely considering a hold out into training camp/possibly the season apparently, or they feared he was going to at least.

By all accounts he was just being a dick about signing his franchise tender and Carolina called his bluff hard. Suppose Norman's not arsed, he's taking his $50m guaranteed to the bank and then probably retiring in two years time when he can no longer keep up

If it was the browns picking first you'd be alright because they'd be guaranteed to pick the bust of the two
Still a fucking dirt class at QB, don't know why you'd risk so much long term damage to the franchise for either one

Fucking ruined that play then. Only said he was first choice so there was better trade value.
Last season saw an abnormal number of sacks considering how solid the O-Line was.
25 seconds to throw a pick against Giants, it was fucking embarrassing.
