I opened the mailbag for the first time this offseason and, as always, plenty of high-quality questions had poured in. There were so many good queries that I’m going to break up my responses into two stories to ensure I get to as many as possible.With Thursday’s open OTA being the media’s first access to a full-team practice, I figured it would make sense to hold off on the personnel-based questions until next week, since I’ll have a much clearer picture then.
