Please have all your cuts, renegs and franchise tags in by Tuesday March 31st 11:59pm EST. I will create new MFL site and begin moving over rosters on Wednesday through the weekend. New site should be up and ready to roll by the time RFA bidding starts.

We are now in Hard cap period. Time to renegotiate and Franchise players are passed.

We will begin RFA bidding on Monday.

Contract declarations and whatnot are due the day after the 3rd week of pre-season games (excluding the HOF game), thus for the 2015 season that will be Monday August 31st.

9. Off Season Free Agency will end the day after the 3rd Preseason game ends (for most NFL teams). 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.
It is your responsibility, as owner, to meet the minimum roster requirements outlined previously,at 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) or a 500cb penalty will be assessed (per player).

August 31 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 - Injured Reserve Opens

August 31 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 - Off-Season Free Agency ENDS
