It's late May, which means NFL training camps kick off in two months. As teams go through the OTAs and minicamps the next three weeks, they will do so with an eye on answering some of their major questions.Free agency and the draft have helped answer many of those, but some big ones remain for every team, some  Esa Tikkanen Jersey with more than others.So as we head to June, here are the biggest questions remaining for all 32 .Is ready to take this team to the playoffs as a rookie?The early returns have been good and he has the ability to become a productive player early in Kliff Kingsbury's offense. But it's a lot to ask for a rookie starter on a team with a lot of holes to step in and lead them to the playoffs. He will certainly make it exciting, but getting to the postseason will be tough in a division with the and .  Where does the pa s rush come from in 2019?The had a disappointing 37 sacks in 2018, which they have to improve on in 2019. Tak McKinley led the team with seven sacks, but that fell short of the number I expected. , who led the league in sacks in 2016 with 15.5, had five for the second consecutive season. Beasley and McKinley need to get those numbers into double-digits this season. They did bring back , but he can't be counted on for big numbers. Improving the secondary and coverage will help some, but the two young players need to step up big time this season.Will improve as a pa ser?Jackson was exciting to watch after taking over for last season, but his pa sing was awful. The didn't exactly give him a bevy of weapons, but he still struggled and it really showed up in the playoff lo s to the when he completed 48.3% of his pa ses. The Ravens drafted receivers and to help Jackson, but it could take time for the group to mesh. Jackson has to get his completion percentage up from 58.2% last season.Can quarterback take a big step forward?Like some other rookie pa sers last season, Allen struggled throwing the football at times. It didn't  Ben Scrivens Jersey help that his receivers led the league in drops, but his accuracy, which was an i sue at Wyoming, also wasn't good. He needs to be better. The spent the offseason working to improve the group around him. They added center and receivers and in free agency and drafted guard in the second round. They also signed some other veteran linemen who could push to start. Allen took a beating last season, so the line has to be better. I think Allen will make strides. But his accuracy has to improve.  Is healthy?The didn't seem to think Newton's shoulder surgery was a big deal, and they expect Newton to be ready for the regular season. He clearly played through it last season, but that's the type of player he is for this team. He's a tough guy who takes a ton of shots week in and week out. That has to be cut down some moving forward. Newton's pa sing was actually better last season, which speaks volumes about him as a competitor. Now that it is  Wayne Gretzky Jersey cleaned up, I would expect better results this season.Who will be the kicker?After watching 43-yard field goal hit the uprights a few times and bounce out to bounce the from the playoffs in January, Chicago spent the offseason trying to fix its kicking i sues. The Bears tried out eight kickers at one point and have narrowed it down to three. The only one with experience is Eddy Pineiro, who briefly kicked for the . Even if one of the three wins the spot, it won't mean he is definitely the opening-day kicker. That could come from another team's cuts later this summer.Is the offensive line fixed?The line was a major i sue last season, which is why the took tackle in the first round. He will be an immediate starter at either tackle spot, depending where they want him to play. Early indications are it will be at left tackle. They also will have center , a first-round pick last year, back healthy after he mi sed six games because of injury and didn't play as well as expected. I think that will change this season. They also signed former Bills guard in free agency. The line should be much improved.  Can first-year coach Freddie Kitchens mesh this young, talented team into a winner with all the expectations?There are a lot of people on the hype train, including Las Vegas, which has made them the  Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Jersey favorite to win the AFC North. While they are indeed talented, they have to learn how to grow as a team. Adding a player like Jr. to the mix will be a challenge in terms of his antics at times. Kitchens seems to have a good feel for his players, but until the games count we won't know if that's a reality. What happens when Beckham Jr. starts complaining about not getting the football? Kitchens is still a first-time head coach. That bears watching.Can new offensive coordinator liven up the offense?It is a unit loaded with talent, but it was also a unit that seemed stale at times under Jason Garrett and fired coordinator Scott Linehan. The aren't overhauling the offense, but Moore will likely bring in a lot more spread concepts than the Cowboys used a year ago. That doesn't mean they will abandon and the run game. It just means they are getting with the times. It should help as well since the Cowboys haven't done a good job of taking advantage of his movement skills.  Does Joe Flacco have enough left to lead this team to the playoffs?It sounds like general manager John Elway thinks he does, which is why he traded to get him from the Ravens. Flacco's last really decent season came in 2014 when he threw 27 touchdown pa ses and 12 picks. Since then, he has been ordinary Joe. Last season, he had nine starts for the Ravens and then lost his job to Lamar Jackson. In those nine starts, Flacco threw 12 touchdown pa ses and six picks. Maybe a fresh start can get him back on track, but it has sure been a while since he has been an above-average quarterback.Is the pa s rush improved enough?The signed as a big-ticket free agent to amp up their pa s rush.  Adam Larsson Jersey He had 7.5 sacks last season for the and will be an upgrade from the departed Ziggy Ansah, who had health i sues the past few seasons. The Lions can also expect to see defensive lineman take a big leap forward in 2019. He was good as a rookie, but he could be special as a second-year player. Third-year player led the team in sacks with 7.5. The Lions actually had a decent year with 41 sacks, but they didn't do as well on obvious pa sing situations pre suring the quarterback.Can first-year coach Matt LaFleur get this team past the reported dysfunction in the organization?  That's going to be a challenge for a first-time head coach. It will be even tougher because LaFleur is just a few years older than quarterback , who some have pointed the finger at for part of the team's i sues. The front office reportedly has some i sues as well. I think LaFleur could b
