I don't understand how the votes are so lopsided when 90% of the people responding seem to like a little time in between. I think the bigger problem was either being early May or June. I lean toward the waiting to June side, although I also sympathize with those thinking June is too late. It does give 1 month for everyone to really study the draft, which some might see as a disadvantage if they truly believe they are draft gurus :) Then there is also the legit argument that summer time brings a lot more activities that pull you away from the computer. I still think it's silly to do them within a week apart. Personally I do 90% of my activity on my smartphone so any dates typically work for me, as long as I have reception.

I don't think there really was an option where we started free agency then the draft was three weeks later or something like that. So everyone just voted for what was there and commented after

Yes, it's on your team roster page listed after the draft picks.

Is there any chance we can turn the Signing Soon feature off on June 1st? I think starting a little later will make the UDFA period more exciting without the cherry picking off the Signing Soon tab.

I was always one of those why rush the offseason we can space it out a little more. But I might be rethinking that because this is going to be a long 25 days until the draft starts. :D

Speak for yourself. I still have 200+ prospects to go look at before I complete my draft board!
