Revised deadlines

Figuring out the official dates for league activities has been about as easy as nailing Jell-O to a wall, and my efforts so far have been about that effective.

These official dates come from Jim Thomas:

-- Teams may negotiate with and sign their draft picks beginning Tuesday morning.
-- Teams may sign rookie free agents beginning Tuesday morning.
-- Teams may negotiate with any veteran free agent starting Tuesday morning.
-- Teams can't sign any veteran free agent until Friday evening at 5:00. So apparently there is no period now where teams can deal exclusively with their own free agents.

Players report to training camp for physicals and team meetings Friday.
Training camp opens Saturday but is limited to no pads, no contact. Not sure RamView will make the haul out to Rams Park for that. Monday 8/1 is the first permitted day of contact. Teams have to be under the salary cap by 8/4.
