2022-23 NFL

 The NFL announced its schedule for the upcoming year on Tuesday, locking in all the significant dates between now and the start of spring workouts in 2023. However, there are a few significant deadlines that must be met before the start of the upcoming offseason. The official cut-off dates for the upcoming pre-season and the 2022 trade deadline are both included. Here is a look at those seasonally important dates as well as a preview of the key occasions for next spring. NFL Roster Cuts The NFL is continuing to use a three-phased roster cut procedure that it first implemented in 2021. The league used a two-phase cutback system some years ago, reducing off-season rosters from 90 to 75 before reducing them further to 53. When the NFL opted to switch to a single cut from 90 to 53 in 2018 and 2019, that issue was resolved. However, in 2020, the NFL returned to a two-step cut from 90 to 80 to 53. The switch to a three-game preseason last year was timed with a new strategy. This year, t...

  What is the Pro Football Hall of Fame? The Pro Football Hall of Fame is a museum and attraction that opened in 1963 as the home of all things professional football. The Hall of Fame "pays tribute to the talents and triumphs of pro football's greatest legends," according to its official website, chronicling within its walls "the stories and circumstances of play that bring to life words such as courage, dedication, vision, fair play, integrity and excellence." Where is the Pro Football Hall of Fame? The Pro Football Hall of Fame is located in Canton, Ohio, birthplace of the NFL. The league was founded at a Hupmobile dealership in Canton in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association, which was later renamed the National Football League. The NFL chose Canton, which played such a prominent role in establishing the league's roots, as the site for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1961. The town was home to the Canton Bulldogs, an early pro football p...

  Arizona Cardinals: Kyler Murray, QB There is no doubt that Kyler Murray is a talented quarterback, and one of the young, dynamic stars in the NFL today. That is not the question. The only question is whether or not he was worth the amount of money the Arizona Cardinals paid him to their franchise quarterback for the foreseeable future. Murray has never led his team to a ten-win season, and even last year, when they made the playoffs, he looked terrible in his debut. He is going to win a lot of games for the Cardinals, and likely make a lot of Pro Bowls, but making him the second-highest paid player in the NFL is a stretch. Atlanta Falcons, Lorenzo Carter, LB After starting his career with the New York Giants, Lorenzo Carter is coming back home, as he signed a one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons. A star at the University of Georgia, Carter is going to be expected to help in the rebuild in Atlanta, a team that has struggled since making it to the Super Bowl a few years back. Whi...
