    Your TGG cut out n' keep guide to the 2026 league year.

    11 March 2026 -
    The 2026 League Year begins at 4:00 p.m. ET and the free agency signing period opens.

    6 April 2026 - Teams with new head coaches may begin offseason workout programs.
    15 April 2026 - Deadline for clubs to host draft-eligible players at club facilities for testing, visits, interviews, or physicals.
    17 April 2026 - Deadline for restricted free agents to sign offer sheets.
    20 April 2026 - Teams with returning head coaches may begin offseason workout programs.
    22 April 2026 - Deadline for prior clubs to match RFA offer sheets
    23–25 April 2026 — NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
    1 May 2026 - Deadline for clubs to exercise the fifth-year option on players selected in the first round of the 2023 Draft.

    The formula for that is the first Tuesday after the third week with more than one Monday Night Football game.

    No no...he simply forgot to put it in the April 23rd - 25th slot next to the draft. That's basically when the official "Jets aren't making the playoffs" happens. Everything else is window dressing.:D
