What is the exact time negotiations can begin?


Recommended Posts

The unofficial start of 2019 NFL free agency begins today, Monday, March 11 at 12:00 PM Eastern. In an (unsuccessful) attempt to curb all the illegal tampering that goes on before free agency, the NFL has decided to designate a window for legal tampering for the seventh year in a row. Actual NFL free agency does not officiallybegin until Wednesday, March 13 at 4:00 PM ET, but a “negotiating period” or “legal tampering period” as it’s come to be known begins today at noon.

the only time zone that matters, ET runs the world

in the US   technically   but 

 

Coordinated Universal Time is a modern version of Greenwich Mean Time.  AKA UTC is the time standard commonly used across the world.

EST  is minus 5 hours of UTC

I didn't just fall off the turnip truck.  I realize they'll be cheating a bit and making calls early.

Ummm you do realize that at 9am PST it’s 12pm EST?  

 

PST they can start negotiating at 9am

Central they can start at 11am

 

good lord did you go to school?

 

EVERY TEAM WILL START AT THE SAME TIME

I'll tell you what dude.  Go to California and make a Noon lunch appointment then show up at 9 and see how long you have to wait.

If you honestly think these teams are "waiting" until some magical hour, you are seriously misguided.  You also probably believe the NCAA is a pure, clean amateur oragnization and those "rogue" coaches that keep popping up who use "pay to play" boosters for highly touted star recruits are just one-off coaches who are way "out of line" and the Universities and NCAA had  NO IDEA this stuff was going on.

I know this. But this question was raised for the exact time "we the public lol" can expect to start hearing the magic phrase " the Buffalo Bills have a deal in place with Daryl freaking Williams" . That's what I'm talking about ?

For the uninformed...who is Kevin? And what is the likelihood he'd have the inside scoop? 

 

hes a fan like you and I, he does some media work for UB sports I think. He doesn't know any more than us. I think to give the tweet context he was just saying thats what he feels based on our connections to a bunch of different trade talks. I would say its more of his wish or thought than anything actually known.

Ive seen stuff from this guy before....don’t remember if he is legit or not

 

Every once in a great while he might get close to something that comes true. He typically calls for players to be cut/signed/traded anytime they have a bad play/game. He's also a "kick the tires" guy on any sort of name he recognizes.
