When do we get to start signing our own guys?

Assuming the vote goes through tomorrow, at what point can we start signing guys like Harper, Nicks, etc? Will it be tomorrow or closer to Saturaday?

Friday is what the NFL N is reporting.

Crap, I figured we would get a few days to sign our guys before FA started, and FA is reported to start Saturday if everything goes as planned. This is killing me.

No need to at all. They'll spend 10 mill a season and he can only take out one offensive weapon. Drew has about 4 or 5 weapons on every play.

But it would be really bad news for Atlanta, since they basically only have Roddy White.

AGREED

Oakland couldn't win with him.

Still, I don't want him in the division.

I'd be much more worried about Tampa adding 3 or 4 high quality free-agents at positions of need with the same money required to sign N.A.
