We are in the second half of the 2020 season of the National Football League (NFL)However, planning for 2021 is already beginning to take shape, with the setting of two important dates for the event, such as the Draft and the Free agency.
In that sense, the first thing that was defined was the end date of official activities of this tournament, which was set for the Wednesday, March 17, day on which all movements will be enabled for the following season.
That same day will begin the NFL offseason, although it will take a couple of weeks for training camps to begin, since the date set for this is the Monday, April 5, while on Monday 19 all the teams will have to work.
When is the 2021 Draft and Free Agency in the NFL?
The next activity to take place will be the Free agency, where the 32 franchises have up to Friday, April 23 to be able to sign those who have the nickname “restricted”, that is, they can receive offers and their teams match them to prevent their exits, and for that they have a term until Wednesday 28 of that month.
While the last important date is the Draft, where teams can choose their future prospects to reinforce their squads. For that, there will be three days, from the Thursday, April 29, where the first round selections will be announced, until Saturday 1 May.
Obviously, all the franchises and the league hope that in 2021 the season can be carried out normally, that is, with the presence of fans in the stadiums, in order to achieve an improvement in their coffers after a critical 2020.
