In fact, if everyone could try to get their Franchise declaration if any, and any renegs you plan on doing, before next weekend (March 23-24) I would appreciate it. I plan on moving rosters over to get ready for RFA bidding, so everyone will have an idea of what they are starting with....

Yes...We will start UFA bidding Monday, June 3rd at 12:01AM EST

June 1st at 12:00am - this date will also be somewhat flexible in that as it would not open until 48 hours after the rookie draft has been completed - Opening of the UFA period

August 30 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
