Even if some free agents still haven’t gotten a team, training camp in the NFL means slots opening up every day through injuries.

NFL Rumors – Oakland Rairders Considering Starting Tyler Wilson
Rookie minicamps can be confusing, making players looking better than they might be against a full roster by playing against guys who might be cut from the team pretty soon.

NFL Rumors – New York Giants & Victor Cruz Situation Getting Worrying
It seems we’re at a standstill, which means it’s bad for Victor Cruz. The New York Giants aren’t going to pay a slot receiver, a very good one but still not a number one wide receiver type the kind of money he thinks he deserves.
