The NFL never stops moving, and though it's been a relatively quiet couple of weeks since the Eagles lost the Super Bowl to the Chiefs, the Birds will be back at it in trying to make it back before you know it.
The window is already open for teams to designate the franchise tag, the scouting combine will begin on Tuesday in Indy – and you know it's always cool to watch the linemen just destroy the bench press – and then free agency will open where Howie Roseman and co. will inevitably be working the phones like crazy (provided they aren't already).
Then there'll be the draft at the end of April, rookie camps, OTAs, until we're finally back at training camp and wondering if this is the Eagles team that will make it back to the top of the mountain and send another parade up the Ben Franklin Parkway.
The NFL never stops and it can be a lot to keep up with at times. So here's a handy guide full of key dates and resources to keep you up to speed over the next couple of months:
