Does anyone know what what or if we might get any extra picks?
I believe we get 3 picks, if I remember correctly but I have no idea when they will tell us the rounds of those picks. I'm also curious to know when Free Agency starts
Compensatory picks are awarded each year at the NFL annual meeting which is held at the end of March; typically, about three or four weeks before the draft.Quote:

I'm pretty sure those are last year's dates. Free agency begins March 5th this year.
Thanks! :bananen_smilies046:Quote:

February 6: Hall of Fame Selection Committee meeting, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Let’s home it lives up to Cardinals/Steelers. If this ends up being Saints vs. Colts it could be one hell of a shootout.
February 11: Beginning of period in which teams can designate franchise and transition players
February 15: Deadline for designating ONE additional transition players (CBA Art. LVI, Section 4)
February 24 – March 2 – NFL Scouting Combine
Rumor city. There should be a lot to discuss in late February.

March 5: New League Year starts, this includes:
- Deadline for submission of qualifying offers by clubs to their restricted free agents whose contracts have expired and to whom they desire to retain a right of first refusal/compensation
