This NFL offseason is out of kilter for modern times, but back in the day it was the norm.
True NFL veterans remember when the draft wasn’t just the showcase event of the offseason but the only newsworthy event of the offseason.
“You were always pointing toward the draft, because you couldn’t get other players and trades were uncommon,” said Washington coach Mike Shanahan, who entered the NFL in 1984 as the offensive coordinator with the Denver Broncos.
“You had the draft, and then your football team was ready. People forget that free agency hasn’t been here all that long.”
