It's a move to dodge teams that always hit them with that classic next year line when asked to open their doors. Adam Shafter broke it down, saying the leaks tired of the runaround and locking in early. Teams like the Patriots got caught in that trap they said next year, and boom, the NFL said sold, putting them on deck. But folks are buzzing, this ain't the smartest play.

They're strategizing and scared off volunteers. Now it's more postcard from camp, style over substance, and teams know cameras could air their dirty laundry. Imagine 2026 with the Seahawks fresh off a Super Bowl win. No tension, just champs chilling, wondering if they repeat like those 20.
