The NFL recently announced a few calendar dates and rule changes. Nothing really changes at first glance for the opening phase of the 2025 season:
Feb. 18 to March 4: Franchise tag window
March 12: League year begins
April 24-26: NFL Draft in Green Bay
April 7: Teams with new head coaches may begin offseason workouts
April 21: Teams with returning head coaches may begin offseason workouts
Those franchise tag dates may be something we need to keep an eye on next year for a certain wide receiver; more on that later today.
