Do teams need to be under the salary cap by then?
I love those dates. but what dates others prefer is fine by me to.Goodell wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 2:15 am Wanting to make sure people have enough time to plan, so had a couple start dates in mind. These aren't official yet, but giving people a chance to let me know if big problems with the dates. Of course we aren't going to be able to find the perfect dates for hundreds of players, but if multiple people have massive conflicts with the dates it would be something we'd look at moving around.
Free agency start: April 28 (day before the NFL draft hopefully sparking people to jump on here)
College draft: May 15-18 (misses Mother's day, before Memorial Day weekend)
These aren't official, but wanted to pencil something in and start to get feedback.
Because of late May activities for me (wife's birthday, 20th anniversary, Memorial Day weekend), if not then we might have to push into June then perhaps more people having other plans in the sun and we get further from the draft.
