I have always been a big proponent of doing our draft before the NFL. It would get real interesting in my opinion.

Jared A and JM Daz hope you both are feeling better, had my own bout but mine was more common cold symptoms, still makes you think a lot more about things as rapidly as this virus is spreading. Lucky to have a second job where i deliver food to clients and use a knock and drop to deliver the food. Now on to football, I'm ready to get this thing started, Do the usual check in, get free agency started and do the draft after the NFL does there's. Already have my estimated cap, LTC estimations on the two I want to extend and a probable franchise tag. Everyone be safe.

I don't think Goodell is asking when we should have the draft. I think he's asking when the off-season should start moving forward (Tags/Trades/etc.)
DFFL Steelers GM: '13-'22
Regular Season Record: 77-85 (.475)
Division Championships: ’13, ’14, ’19
AFC WC Team: ’20

AFFL Bills GM: '20-?
Regular Season Record: 20-30 (.400)

BRFL Chargers GM: '21-?
Regular Season Record: 17-17 (.500)
AFC WC Team: '22

In the spirit of most people voting for sooner, but some understandably for later, we'll start to open up some optional things where teams can get a start on roster decisions but don't don't have any disadvantages if not participating quite yet.

Check your team rosters now that I've transition to the 2020 league year and let me know if any problems. We'll open up tagging and LTCs for pending free agents before too long.

Some teams already chose options for picking up 5th year options. I didn't quite realize those choices would pop up yet and wasn't ready for that, so I've removed those decisions for now. Those few teams that selected choices there would just have to answer that again soon, but no transactions open just yet. Hopefully soon. Thanks!

EDIT: Okay, those options are available now from team rosters.

Hearing no objections from my post earlier, we'll make it official and set the start of free agency:
