This time of year can be quite exciting for NFL fans. Over the past few months, literally hundreds of players have found new homes via free agency and the draft. Over the next couple of months, these new additions will be integrated into their respective rosters as teams prepare for the coming season.
While this is an invigorating time for fans hoping to see their favorite teams improve, it can be a discouraging time for veteran players who are about to see their roles significantly change. Take Dallas Cowboys running back Darren McFadden, for example.
