Free Stuff From the NFL – Follow-up

Several weeks ago, I posted about how to get free stuff from the NFL.  Click Here to see that post.  It was a fun article to write, and is still bringing joy as NFL fan packs continue to trickle in.  This is a follow-up post to my original article.  In this post I’ll provide a log of the items I received from each NFL franchise.  I’ll also list the “turnaround time” – the number of days it took from when I contacted the franchise until the fan pack arrived in the mail.  I’ll continue to update this post as more fan packs arrive.

As always, run to daylight.
