The NFL announced the important dates for its upcoming league year on Tuesday. Here are some of the major dates to keep an eye out for:

July 17 — At 4 p.m. ET, deadline for any club that designated a “franchise player” to sign such player to a multi-year contract or extension. After this date, the player may sign only a one-year contract with his prior club for the 2023 season, and such contract cannot be extended until after the club’s last regular season game.

Mid-July — Clubs are permitted to open preseason training camp for rookies beginning seven days prior to the club’s earliest permissible mandatory reporting date for veteran players. A club’s preseason training camp will be deemed to have officially opened on the designated reporting date for all rookies. Clubs may require first-year players (defined as a player who signed a player contract with any NFL club in a prior league year, but who does not have a pension-credited season) to report on the designated reporting date for all rookies, or at any time thereafter, including, but not limited to, the designated reporting date for veteran quarterbacks and injured players, or the designated reporting date for all other veteran players.

Veteran quarterbacks and “injured players” (as defined in CBA Article 21, Section 6) may be required to report to the club’s preseason training camp no earlier than five days immediately prior to the mandatory reporting date for all other veteran players, provided the club has already opened (or simultaneously opens) its official preseason training camp for all rookies. Beginning on the date that the first training camp opens for rookies through the last business day prior to the Super Bowl, all tryouts and visits will be reported to clubs on the personnel notice.

Aug. 3 — Hall of Fame Game, New York Jets vs. Cleveland Browns, Canton, Ohio.

Aug. 8 — If a drafted rookie has not signed with his club by this date, he cannot be traded to any other club in 2023 and may sign a player contract only with the drafting club until the day of the draft in the 2024 league year.

Aug. 10-13 — First preseason weekend.

Aug. 29 — Prior to 4 p.m. ET, clubs must reduce rosters to a maximum of 53 players on the active/inactive list.

Simultaneously with the roster reduction to 53 players, clubs that have players in the categories of active/physically unable to perform or active/non-football injury or illness must select one of the following options: place player on reserve/PUP or reserve/non-football injury or illness, whichever is applicable; terminate or request waivers with the designation of failed physical or non-football injury or illness, whichever is applicable; request waivers; terminate contract; trade contract; or continue to count the player on the active list.

Players who are on the reserve list or exempt list and are not counting against the 90-player limit will begin to count against the 90-player limit.

Aug. 30 — Claiming period for players placed on waivers at the final roster reduction will expire at noon ET. Upon receipt of the subsequent personnel notice, clubs may establish a practice squad of 16 players. Clubs participating in the international player development program may sign one additional international player to a practice player contract. No club, including the player’s prior club, will be permitted to sign a player to a practice player contract until all clubs have received simultaneous notification via the above personnel notice that such player’s prior NFL player contract has been terminated via the waiver system.

Beginning at 4 p.m. ET, any player placed on reserve/injured, reserve/non-football injury or illness, or practice squad; injured during the regular season or postseason, may be designated for return later in the season, subject to the applicable procedures.

Sept. 3 — Final day of preseason training camp for all clubs, as defined in CBA Article 23, Section 10.

Sept. 7, 10-11 — Kickoff weekend.

Oct. 1 — NFL International game at Wembley Stadium; Atlanta Falcons vs. Jacksonville Jaguars; London.

Oct. 31 — All trading ends for 2023 at 4 p.m., ET.

    • Meh I get the intent but signing the OGs at the highest price and coming out with a historically bad D isn't something other teams should do. The Bears took a better route. Older guys but cheaper. Only negative I got there is that they still need to take an OG this year but that 4th is 2026 so it really should be hard for them to make a solid swing before it's a gapping hole again.
    • The coach of the Chicago Bears just referenced the turnaround of the Panthers once they invested in guards.  He then has just signed 2 high profile guards.  How is that not copying the Panthers?  I agree that there is not a lot to copy here, but step back.  We lost Darnold before investing in the OL.  We lost Baker before investing in the OL.  We drafted Bryce before successfully investing in the OL.  We invest in 2 guards.  After a slow start, Bryce ends the season 4-5 and is very close to both Philly and New England.  Later, the new coach of the Bears references the Panthers and how they turned it around after signing high profile guards.  A week or two later, they announce they signed 2 high profile guards.  I think all GMs paid attention to what has happened here.  It may not be the sole basis for their decision, but the defense cost us 2024, not the offense.  In addition, we did it without our #1 WR, a top TE, and the cupboards were pretty bare at WR.  I think they noticed.  As you say, Frank, we shall see.
    • I was about to say he put up a damn near 40 inch vertical and a 10'3 broad jump, even if he only runs in the 4.6 range the guy belongs in the NFL, not sure he will ever be an elite back but he definitely can contribute
