According to the rules, the schedule is as follows:
4-1 to 5/15, RFA Free Agency bidding period
5/15 to 8/15, off season free agency
"About two weeks after NFL Draft"-our rookie draft.
I wouldn't have any objection to altering this schedule to fit Mike's schedule. We had a period of dead time at the end of last year's RFA period, so we probably don't need a full month and a half. The rookie draft could happen any time prior to the off season free agency, and we could delay the start of that as well a little bit without too much of an affect.
Mike, would you be able to come up with an alternative schedule that would work for you, and then the league could decide if we can go with that or not?
As for my rule change proposals, I'll try to put a clean document together later this week that will encompass my changes, and we can vote on them item by item (after any discussion).
