What happens to NFL players during close season?

[abyorkie]

Hi Guys
I like to watch American football and have followed the NFL again this season.
Just a question. it is a very long close season so what do the players do? I suppose some will continue training but it does seem a long layoff.

In the UK the rugby, footballers cricketers have over seas tours, and competitions, indeed a lot of rugby league players go to Australia to play or coach.
I know only the lucky few get to "go on tours" and or play abroad, but our close seasons are relatively short by comparison to the 8 months or so the NFL shuts down.
I suppose there are only so many talk shows to go on!!

Just wondered

Cheers Alan

I know the NFL teams have training camps in the off season to practice and give the coaches a chance to check out new talent.

Best wishes for many sales to all,
