The NFL training camp is more than just practice; it’s a proving ground where players’ careers are made or broken. For those switching teams, this period is especially challenging. That’s where Sure Sports RETAP™ steps in, providing specialized support for athletes facing the daunting task of joining a new team. RETAP™ helps many athletes who need to sell their homes fast, allowing them to settle in a new city without stress.

The High Stakes of NFL Training Camp

When training camp kicks off, each of the 32 NFL teams starts with 90 players. However, as the preseason grinds on, teams must whittle down their rosters to just 53 players. This means that each team will cut 37 athletes. After roster cuts are finalized, there are 1,184 players in the league looking for new chances or even a new career path.

For players moving to a new team, the pressure is immense. They need to quickly learn new playbooks. They must adapt to different coaching styles. They also have to connect with teammates who already have good chemistry.

Many players owned homes in their old city. They often look to sell that property before buying in their new market and they may have significant equity tied up in the home..

Sure Sports RETAP™ is made for these athletes. It gives them access to up to 60% of their home’s value in just 5 days. This helps them settle into their new market quickly. In addition, Sure Sports then takes on the task of selling the athlete’s home, removing yet another stressor the athlete would typically deal with.
