This was a historic season.
The Super Bowl is over http://www.cardinalscheapstore.com/byro … rsey-cheap , the Patriots have lost, and the Eagles have finally taken home the Lombardi Trophy. From the ridiculousness of Blake Bortles going deep into the playoffs, to sketchy officiating calls, and ultimately to having Nick Foles become a Super Bowl MVP, this was just nutty. Seriously, if you went to Vegas before the season started and bet as little as five dollars on Nick Foles being the Super Bowl MVP, you would probably be a millionaire by now. Okay, that might be exaggerating a little, but you get the point. This was not your usual regular NFL season. Now how are we supposed to wait for months until we can get some more football in our veins?We can picture in our heads the countless legions of NFL fans who are already itching for the opening kickoff of the next season. However, everyone has to wait. Not everything happens in our own time, and there is little we can do about it. There is, however, one thing that we can do to keep ourselves from eating our fingernails down to the stump in anticipation of the next season. We can talk about off-season rumors. They might not be as exciting as the playoffs Dre'Mont Jones Jersey , but the NFL off-season is where things ultimately get decided. Free-agent signings, draft picks, and everything in between are things NFL fans should stay tuned to. So why not take a look at 15 rumors everyone will be talking about during the summer? Get ready for your fix because here are eight off-season rumors we hope are not true and seven we hope become a reality.
