Payton made some remarks about the start of training camp being July 26th. See the article below:

The official reporting date of when we can go to camp is that third week of July. I was just telling the players that we're going to report actually six days after when we can report. I don't want to alter our schedule that significantly because we're playing in the Hall of Fame game. What I plan to do is bring them to camp - much like I did a year ago - a week-and-a-half prior to that Hall of Fame game and treating that weekend much like we did the scrimmage. Instead of scrimmaging, we're going to be playing a game so there's a little bit more that needs to be installed, but I'm just a little leery of bringing them to training camp a full eight days than we did a year ago with the time we're going to be practicing. We're looking at the same timeframe, which I think is the 26th. Thursday is the first day of practice. I think we're allowed to be there on the 19th or 20th, but we're going with the 26th as the first day of practice.
