This is what primarily lead to my assumption that bidding ended on April 30.
But I agree that is inconsistent with the rest of our bidding rules. Now that I think about it, we had this same issue arise with off season free agency running into in season free agency last year or the year before. Maybe we should see how we handled that.

I just looked at the last 2 years of RFA, we've never had a player carry past the deadline while in active bidding, so there is no past precedent on how we handled it.
I can see it being interpreted both ways, but lean towards the later.
As for the off-Season to In-Season FA, however, we have all bids close at midnight, but it's also specifically stated that way in the rules

9. Off Season Free Agency will end the day after the 3rd Preseason game ends (for most NFL teams). For 2005 that will be on August 29th at 11:59 PM. At that time, all active bids will be finalized. For any player with an active (not yet final) bid, the highest bid to be electronically postmarked (determined by the mail server time-stamp) prior to this time will be declared the winning bid. In Season Free Agency will open the day after.

We have no such statement as that for the RFA period.
