New York Jets training camp officially gets underway this week. For many of the established veteran players on the roster, it is a time to prepare for the season. However, there are some veterans with a lot on the line. A player like Allen Lazard comes to mind. A year ago Lazard had buzz around him as a shiny free agent signing.

July is a quiet time in the NFL. So when a star player like Aaron Rodgers starts talking about wanting to join forces with another star player like Davante Adams, people listen.
