NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The NFL offseason won’t last long.

By the time the Philadelphia Eagles complete their Super Bowl victory parade on Friday, it will be less than two weeks until the scouting combine kicks off in Indianapolis.

Free agency follows on March 10 with the two-day negotiating period. The annual league meeting starts on March 30.

The seven teams with new head coaches may open offseason workout programs on April 7 and the remaining 25 teams can follow two weeks later.

Then, it’s time for the NFL draft on April 24 in Green Bay, where Miami quarterback Cam Ward is the bettors’ pick to be the No. 1 overall pick.
