The big interest this summer, as it is every summer will not be who shows when camp open, but rather who does not. Already in some places we are hearing there have been a few notable no-shows, some that fantasy owners will want to keep watch of.
In Denver, the Bronco’s two first round draft picks running back Knowshon Moreno and defensive end Robert Ayers were no shows at the team’s first day of camp. The Eagles experienced the same occurrence with their first round selection wide receiver Jeremy Maclin not present. All three rookies remain unsigned and could be potential lengthy hold-outs. Something the Fantasy Nation will be watching.
Check back everyday for more football!
