This is from the SAC'd thread but my understanding is that the IR opens prior to when the declarations are officially due to allow teams to use the IR slots. If I am missing something please let me know.

Monday, August 27th at 12:00am - Injured Reserve Opens

Monday August 27 at 11:59pm - RFA, FA and Rookie declarations/contracts are due, and also Off-Season Free Agency ENDS

Re: 2012 Freedom Declarations

I see how that works now. I need to do the same thing with Jahvid Best to assign full years to my Taxi squad guys.

Sorry, Matt. Frenzy is a little different than SAC'D, then. You have to make your declarations first, THEN you can put someone on the IR. So you'll have to make room for the player (either on the active or taxi squad), THEN you can move him to IR.

Re: 2012 Freedom Declarations

And any rookie that you draft but don't keep also needs to be posted in a separate thread... which will allow others to claim him, if they want.

From Section 8B.1 Off Season Free Agent Bidding:

Quote:

Off-Season Free Agent biding will open on May 16th each year and close the day after the 3rd NFL Pre-Season game (for most teams) at 11:59pm.

From Section 10 Injured Reserve:

Quote:

The 1st available date will be a flexible date each year that basically commences the day after the 3rd pre-season games end (4th for the few teams that play 5). This will be approximately 7-10 days before the NFL regular season kicks off.

From Section 11C Season Timeline:

Quote:

Monday August 29 at 12:00am - this will be a flexible date each year that basically commences the day after the 3rd pre-season games end (4th for the few teams that play 5). This will be approximately 7-10 days before the NFL regular season kicks off - 2005 Injured Reserve Opens

Monday August 29 at 11:59pm - this will be a flexible date each year that basically commences the day after the 3rd pre-season games end (4th for the few teams that play 5). This will be approximately 7-10 days before the NFL regular season kicks off - 2005 Off-Season Free Agency ENDS

Tuesday August 30(flexible date to be the day after contracts and DS are declared) - opening of 2005 In-Season Free Agency

Re: 2012 Freedom Declarations

Well... good post. I guess I misread... and mis-remembered how we've done it in the past. I just looked over the past 3 years of declarations, and there was not a single IR move made - right before or after the deadline.

SO... we've got to go with the way the rules are written.
Now, we don't have an official week one injury report. So we can't put any player on the IR. But if he's definitely out (like already on IR), then it looks like making an IR designation first thing tomorrow morning is an option.

Any team who has CUT players, thinking an IR designation was not an option, I'll give you a 24-hour window to retract that cut and place him on IR.

Everyone okay with this?
Sorry for the confusion.
