JULY

July 25 NFL will publish the 2011 Free Agency List, which will become effective July 29, 2011 at 6:00 p.m., New York time.

July 26 At 10:00 a.m., New York time, Club facilities open. Players may report for physicals and voluntary strength and conditioning.

At 10:00 a.m., New York time, Trading begins for 2011 League Year.

Rosters expanded to ninety (90) man limit.

At 10:00 a.m., New York time, Clubs may negotiate with and SIGN their own Drafted Rookies and any Undrafted Rookie. Clubs may have such players report to the Club’s facilities for physical examinations prior to signing.

All 2011 Contracts signed on or after July 26 shall be binding upon the player and the Club when signed, but shall not become effective unless a CBA is ratified by the NFLPA (August 4)

At 10:00 a.m., New York time, Clubs may NEGOTIATE with, but not sign, or extend Offer Sheets to, their own UFAs, RFAs, Exclusive Rights Players and Franchise Players and other Clubs’ UFAs, RFAs, non-exclusive Franchise Players and free agents.

July 26-27 A Club may require a player to report for a mandatory physical examination in order for the player to qualify for any bonus in a preexisting contract if the “measuring date” for such a bonus has been changed pursuant to CBA Article 11 (Transition Rules for the 2011 League Year).

July 27 Camp opens for ten Clubs whose first preseason game is on August 11 (ARZ, BLT, DAL, DEN, JAX, NE, OAK, PHI, SD, SEA)

July 28 Camp opens for ten Clubs whose first preseason game is on August 12

At 6:00 p.m., New York time, Clubs may SIGN, or extend Offer Sheets to, all eligible players, in addition to Drafted and Undrafted Rookies. Clubs may have such players report to the Club’s facilities for physical examinations prior to signing. Eligible players may visit or try out at any Club facility.

Veteran players who sign Player Contracts on or after 6:00 p.m., New York time, on July 29 shall be required to report to, and remain with, their Clubs, except that, prior to the start of the 2011 League Year on August 4, such players may not participate in on-field activities, workouts, weight training or other physical activities, but shall be required to attend meetings, classroom instruction and any other non-physical activities scheduled during the Club’s preseason training camp.

CBA Lifting. This is rough info, I will flesh it out as I can.

Today the NFLPA leaders will vote to recommend the CBA deal.

Today the plaintiffs of the anti-trust suit will agree to settlements.

This week doors will open at NFL Facilities.

This week players will sign union cards to recertify the NFLPA.

Once NFLPA is back in business a vote for ratification of the CBA takes place.

Players need 50%+1 guy to ratify new CBA

Football will be safe for 7-10 years.

Tidbits of CBA. (can become thread later)

No opt out being reported. 10 years of peace.

I'm not understanding this. So you can fly in a UFA tomorrow and start negotiating a deal with them, but they can't sign until Friday? Does that mean that 72 hour exclusive window for signing your own free agents is at the same time that they're being courted by other teams?

BTW, great job kurb.

There is conflicting reports on the UFA's. Some say you can start talking on Tuesday others are saying not until later in the week.
