Starting to hear now there will be no opt-out. So this deal is set for the next 10 years, if true

On top of that was just reading how teams could lose RFA's midway through August.

I'd bet the better coaches had a time line set up for when ever the deal got done. So they would have a plan for as little or as much time as they had to prepare the players.

Yeah I'm sure teams have a plan in place and will be ready to move.

Yeah I've heard the same things. I think your right though, the facility will open tomorrow for the players to vote, and actual practice starts Thurs. or Fri.

any word on when we can:

1) sign our own players and FAs
2) sign other team's FAs and begin trades?

SmootSmack · 07-25-2011, 02:20 PM

I think we'll get official answers tonight.

So are most teams confident that rookies are not going to d1ck around with negotiating a lot and jump on board quickly?
Any speculation how soon Kerrigan/Jenkins and Hankerson will get signed?

SmootSmack · 07-25-2011, 02:47 PM

I think UDFAs will probably be signed first and then rookies. Rookies should be signed rather quickly

And now they're saying all teams will start camp on Friday

And, I can't 100% confirm this yet, but the players have voted

UDFAs can be signed starting tomorrow right? or is it they can be negotiated with now, and signed tomorrow?
