With the free agency gates open in the NFL, is anyone else as excited as I am for free agency and the draft in our respective leagues?

I'm not. I anticipate losing some quality guys this year in AFFL and if I hope to get anything out of the loss I can't sign any UFAs (so I get some comp picks in 2013).

Yep Ben, I feel your pain. The small increase in cap didn't help either! :lol:

You're actually in better shape than me cap-wise, though you have a few more free agents than I. As it stands now, I'm going to be about 7 million over the cap when the off-season begins. :shock:

I wonder if we'll both make it back for a 4th straight NFC Championship game duel.

I would assume we are still a month or so out. We still have to take care of the following issues

1) Finalize all new rule changes
2) Reset the rosters to 2012
3) Have a period of time for Franchise, Restricted, and Transition tagging
4) Set up the Free Agent database.

My guess it will be April 9th at the earliest.
