    Does the ability to pick up free agents start at midnight?
    I forget how it works, I remember waiting all night last year and nothing happened (no news) until the morning.

    At which point five teams will immediately sign players with whom they've allegedly never spoken to.

    No problem. Eric Boland, Rich Cimini, and Dave Hutchinson will get the information on any FA signings right after they happen. And people on TGG will be stalking those blogs on Friday and they will post here as soon as it happens.

    I believe Leonhard will be signed on Friday. Hopefully Mr. Scott reaches the FA market before Balt. signs him

    I thought you were gonna say we traded for P Manning.

    Signing of Jim Leonard would not be such a breaking news...

    Theoretically it is illegal to talk to anyone before Friday morning. In recent years it has become a joke to see how many people have been signed on the first day. Obviously that could never have happened without prior talks. The NFL has started investigating so I would be surprised to see anybody signed on Friday although it will probably happen anyway.
