Not like I’m counting or anything, but there are only 91 days until the NFL season kicks off (I’m totally counting down). Before the season begins, there are some questions surrounding each NFL team, and I’m here to break it all down for you. At the end of the season, I will revisit these questions and reveal how I think teams worked them out.

continue to defy father time?

Marshall and Darrelle Revis?
