News around the NFL travels quickly, and it’s tough to keep up. However, many beat writers, players, and team officials bring insight to their teams and the game through their accounts on Twitter.

In 140 characters or less, these accounts can dispel rumors, announce player moves, and prepare fans for upcoming games.

Here are some of the best Twitter accounts to follow for each team in the NFL (along with the Bleacher Report handle for each team).
