They included a graphic showing players who will face their former teams.
Most notable of which is Ezekiel Elliott returning to AT&T Stadium to face the Dallas Cowboys.
Revenge could also be in the minds of Jacksonville Jaguars players Calvin Ridley and Foyesade Oluokun as they face the Atlanta Falcons.
The Falcons traded Ridley to the Jaguars while serving his suspension for betting on NFL games.
Also, Baltimore Ravens edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney is a part of the revenge tour as he faces the Cleveland Browns.
Clowney played two seasons for the Browns before joining their AFC North rivals.

Meanwhile, wide receiver Adam Thielen, now with the Carolina Panthers, will face his former team, the Minnesota Vikings.
Placekicker Matt Gay will also try to put points for the Indianapolis Colts against the Los Angeles Rams
Finally, quarterbacks Jameis Winston and Geno Smith will face their former teams, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New York Giants, respectively.
