When you run things that coincide with the NFL or shortly after you create excitement and interest in the league but when we get behind and push things back you loose all momentum. We just need to set dates for every off-season feature not necessarily in stone and work towards it. This way people have some idea and can plan accordingly. As a result a stronger league and less turnover. I vote we shoot for Monday as I see there's plenty of replacement GMS ready to go. This only leaves draft order, comp picks, and turning on trades. Fingers Crossed!

Agree here 100%
I have only been on here a short time but damn you guys are impatient. I am sure Commissioner Goodell would love to get this up and going as quickly as possible but like most of us who like to have a life, I am sure he is a busy person with a busy life. Holy hell, back off people and go get a beer.

Relax, it's a thread and that's why we post here so we can get a general idea of when to start the off season and what's going to work for a majority of the GM's.
And, yes, all the GM's that give a shit are champing at the bit to put their teams together so why not give them a break and you back off if they seem somewhat over eager instead of coming here and posting this self righteous crap.
Appreciate all the feedback (and patience). More details on off-season schedule are still to be determined, but hoping to have an update soon once I sort out the openings, etc. Until then, no announcement yet and will update further this week. Thanks
For those newbies that think some of the vets are impatient. You don't know how long we've already waited, and yet EVERYONE here has a say so in the approximate start times of these very important dates.
That includes yourself, myself, and 94 other GMs (although there are actually less due to GMs have multiple teams).
As has been mentioned already, all we've done this year is continue to push things back. The commish is busy. I get it, but it doesn't make me any more patient just b/c someone says I have to wait longer than we've ever waited in a single season here.
Better grab some popcorn!
