Below I have the past two years' schedules. Building off of that, I propose the following for this year:
July 6, 2020 (Monday) - Rookie draft begins
- Drafted players added to the rosters by commissioners
- If you have more than 4 draft picks, ensure that you have roster space for all picks
July 20, 2020 (Monday) - Waiver open; add/drop permitted within player limit, until....
September 7th (Labor Day, Monday) - Cutdown Day. All rosters must be at 29 active + 3 IR by noon.
Quibble with those dates if you must. Or... make it easy and let's all go with the flow

Rosters are locked throughout the offseason. Roster Maximum set at 36 players, 0 IR (29 + 3 IR + 4 eventual draft picks is a fair cutoff). Trades are, of course, still permitted.
July 8, 2019 (Monday) - Rookie draft begins
- Drafted players added to the rosters by commissioners
- if you have more than 4 draft picks, ensure that you have roster space for all picks
July 22, 2019 (Monday) - Waivers open; add/drop permitted with 36-player roster limit until...
September 2 (Labor Day) - cutdown day. All rosters must be at 29 active + 3 IR by noon.
(NFL final roster cuts are Saturday August 31, so I wanted to push back our cuts until after that, but still have enough time for waivers prior to week 1)
