Current Set of Rules for Lockout lifting/FA signing/Camp Reporting *Updated 130pm-est


Kurb

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.

I'm hearing both ways.

Some say it's just current teams.

Some say its all teams.

This is going to get pretty messy. Look for tampering accusations to be thrown around...

I kind of feel like everyone is going to be tampering. So no one is going to be quick to pull the trigger on calling another team out because everyone will be doing it. Its just going to happen and everyone's going to turn a blind eye.

Jay Glazer, now in contrast to what Schefter just reported about an hour ago, is saying you can't sign anyone until Friday. And there isn't any exclusive negotiation window for your own FAs. Also, said trades can start 12 pm tomorrow, but still, can't sign anyone until Friday, you can only begin negotiating after 12pm tomorrow as well with ANY FA, not just your own.

This would actually make some sense; I would think they would have to officially re-certify before any contracts were signed. But I'm not sure on this.

Every team needs roughly 90 players for Training Camp.

Every team currently has approx 40 players on their roster.

That's approx 50 signed free agents per team

32X50 = 1600 free agents signed in less than a week....:ack2:

Yesterday I got that feeling of sitting on the couch on a nice fall day with a beer in my hands and bbq on my plate and it made me remember how much I loved football, even if this whole lockout annoyed me and dimmed my interest in the sport. God Damn its good to finally have this garbage over with, can we just play the game now.

Edit: Also cant wait for the most exciting week in NFL offseason history. Will it make all this lockout annoyance worth it?

    • Cam Jordan was on Good Morning Football.  A player like Cam (lifelong Saint and a great ambassador for any team--I like him a lot) could be used by the Saints to create a smokescreen.  He denied that the Saints would take a QB in the first round, claiming that it has not been done since Manning in 1971 (paraphrasing)... It seems to me, (conspiracy theory forthcoming) that bit of information would have to have been researched/premeditated/planned.  Was he attempting to scoff at the concept that the Saints would draft a QB at #10?  Remember, Carr missed 7 games last year and had a 63.something QB rating.  He was not believed to be returning in 2025.  When the Saints thought that one of the top 2 Qbs were not going to be there at #10, they did not take advantage of the void clause in his contract, the way I understand it.  That means they continued to kick the Carr contract down the road.  In 2026, Carr's cap number is $69m--nearly a quarter of the cap for a 35-year old QB they do not want.  He is to be paid a $40m salary with a $10m roster bonus. While I am not a capologist, it is interesting if they really like Shedeur. All that matters is the perception that the Saints will take him at 10. If the Giants pass on him, and I think they likely will, Sanders could draw interest from the Raiders (I do not see it) at 6 or the Jets at 7 (more likely, but still unlikely).  The Panthers are the most likely trade partner--unless the Jets want to move back.  So who may realistically trade up for a qb?  The Colts (14), but there is no noise about them taking a QB and I do not think they have shown interest--instead, a competition between Richardson and Jones is the plan.  The Steelers (21) are in play, and the Rams are in play.  There is, however, another option for Carolina as a trade partner--The Saints.  A draft day switch for a third rounder might keep the Panthers targeting their player at 8 and add a pick in the process, suggesting they do not want to move back--but I get the impression that the Panthers are looking to move back.  
    • I said this a week ago and someone said it's idiotic basically  bc they want Rodgers. Newsflash,  Rodgers is a 1 year bandaid at most and if he gets hurt, Pittsburgh  has nothing else  but just traded for Metcalf.  I still think Shedaur may go to the Giants tho. Feels its a battle in the front office on him. We will see but I'd gladly take that trade package lol
