Lets say we sign a FA from another team tomorrow. Does that mean they can't report to camp until Aug 2?

According to Pat Y, our camp is opening Thursday, but the 2nd is a week from Tuesday.

I just thought about what you really asked. Being that the FA couldn't officially sign till Aug 2nd, then I wouldn't expect the FA to particiate until Aug 2nd. Has the NFL been down this road before? Not that I can remember, so I'd be willing to be that they won't get to camp without a contract.

That makes since, now I just hope that we'll hear about all the signings prior to August 2nd. I'm sure we will, but I wonder if you "sign" a FA Tuesday if they could still techniqically shop their services until it becomes official?

I don't really think so...being that it's this time of the year (late for FA)....it's take the deal and report...especially if Arther Blank offers you a contract... B)

Update & link.

Free-agent and trade negotiations may begin Tuesday and transactions can be filed with the league office Friday at 6 p.m., according to an updated timeline for league business to begin, sources told ESPN.com's John Clayton.

A source at the highest-level had earlier told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that those talks might begin as soon as Monday afternoon and the league year would have begun Aug. 2, if the NFL Players Association signed off on it.
