Given that this is going to be a lunatic week, sort of like the draft but exponentially crazier, I figured it would be better for one rolling thread for most of the news. I'm sure major announcements will have separate threads, but the rosters need to go from about 70 to 90 in a matter of days, plus sign all our picks, not to mention free agent signings and trades.
Gotta love it when the *time of day* is an important part of the offseason "key date" schedule. As far as I can tell, and I'm sure I got something wrong or something will change, the schedule is as follows:
Monday: Can negotiate with draft picks and UFDAs, free agent list sent out
Tuesday, 10am: Starting gun. Team facilities open, can sign draft picks and UDFAs, can make trades, can begin talking to all free agents (but not make actual offers, or sign).
Wednesday: Eagles training camp opens
Thursday, 4pm: Teams can officially cut players
Friday, 6pm: Free agency signings can become official. Veteran free agents may not practice until league year starts.
August 4, 4pm: League year starts; NFLPA must be a union and final CBA must be ratified by then
This will be... interesting.
