I'm going to propose a draft date beginning Monday, July 5th, 2021.
I'm going to wait on the rest of the schedule until the NFL releases its schedule next week to make sure the start times and cutdown days make sense. But I wanted to get the draft on everyone's radar at least.
Below I have the past two years' schedules for reference.
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.
July 9, 2018 (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 23, 2018 (Monday) - Waivers open; add/drop permitted with 36-player roster limit until...
August 28 (Friday before Labor Day weekend) - cutdown day. All rosters must be at 29 active + 3 IR by noon.
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)
Well you don't want to be the Vikings. Anyone want to trade? It's been freakishly quiet.....
My 4th for your 1st. Straight up!

I'd trade my 3 4ths for his 1st.
Edit: my bad, 2 4th and 3 3rds.
1 2nd!
