COSTA MESA, Calif. -- The end of June and July is usually considered a slow period for NFL franchises as players and coaches look forward to vacation time with friends and family.

“We’re doing everything for the first time,” Spanos said. “There’s not a lot of historical precedent for the things we’re doing, which is challenging, but also a great opportunity to reinvent things and not be saddled by an old model or an old way of doing things.
