They need to end the season a few weeks later also..Febraurys the slowest sports month it would be helped if the nfl went a little longer

Why the fukk do they need to end the season later? If they're not starting the season later, if they're not adding bye weeks in there for player safety, they're going to be adding 18 games which opposes that and is practically guaranteed to be a worse product.

the NFL hopes to create a “signing day” for free agents, similar to the phenomenon that has arisen in recent years regarding the date in early February on which high school players pick their college destinations.

We’ve confirmed that the NFL has specifically proposed a “signing day” in communications with the NFLPA regarding a revised offseason calendar. As Pioli explained, the new three-day legal tampering period is aimed at setting the stage for a one-day bonanza of announcements of new destinations for free agents.

The problem, as a practical matter, with a contrived NFL signing day is that, during the three-day legal tampering period, word will emerge as to where a player plans to sign. Moreover, the first day of free agency already operates that way, since all sorts of illegal tampering ensures that players will know where they’ll be signing within hours after the market officially opens.

fukk that I was just thinking they need to have the draft sooner. NBA draft be like a week or two after the Finals. And all these mock drafts are always way off.

How is a "signing day" supposed to be good? National Signing Day is already bad enough, we need to do this with grown men as well?
