The Kansas City Chiefs saw their season come to a disappointing end in Super Bowl LIX, but the work to return to the league’s mountaintop is already underway.

Here’s a look at some important dates to keep in mind on the NFL calendar over the next several months.

 

 

February 18: Beginning on this date through 3:00 p.m. CT on March 4, teams may designate Franchise or Transition Players.

February 24 – March 3: The NFL Scouting Combine takes place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.

March 4: Teams must designate Franchise or Transition Players by 3:00 p.m. CT on this date.

March 10 – March 12: Teams are permitted to contact and enter into contract negations with the certified agents of players (or the player himself, if they do not have an agent) who will become unrestricted free agents upon the expiration of their 2024 contracts at 3 p.m. CT on March 12. This is referred to as the negotiating period.

March 12: The 2025 League Year begins at 3 p.m. CT, meaning that unrestricted free agents are permitted to sign contracts with any team. The onset of the new League Year also means the following:

Prior to the 3 p.m. CT deadline, teams must exercise options for 2025 on all players who have an option clause in their contracts.
Additionally, prior to the 3 p.m. CT deadline, teams must submit qualifying offers to their restricted free agents with expiring contracts in order to retain a right of first refusal (and compensation) should the player sign an offer sheet with another team.
The trading period begins at 3 p.m. CT. No trades can officially take place before this time.
Prior to 3 p.m. CT, all teams must be under the 2025 salary cap.
Lastly, prior to 3 p.m. CT, teams must submit a minimum salary tender to players with expiring contracts and who have fewer than three accrued seasons of free agent credit in order to retain exclusive negotiating rights.

June 15 Deadline for club to withdraw higher qualifying offer to restricted free agents and still retain exclusive negotiating rights by substituting lower “June 15 Tender” of one-year contract at 110 percent of the player’s prior-year Paragraph 5 Salary (with all other terms of his prior-year contract carried forward unchanged).
Late June Rookie Readiness Program to be held at individual clubs.
July
July 15 At 4:00 p.m., New York time, deadline for any club that designated a Franchise Player to sign such player to a multiyear contract or extension.

Clubs are permitted to open preseason training camp for rookies (defined as a player who has never signed an NFL player contract with a club in a prior league year) beginning seven days prior to the club’s mandatory reporting date for veteran players. A club’s preseason training camp will be deemed to have officially opened on the designated reporting date for all rookies

Clubs may require first-year players (defined as a player who signed a player contract with any NFL club in a prior league year, but who does not have a pension-credited season) to report on the designated reporting date for all rookies, or at any time thereafter, including, but not limited to, the designated reporting date for veteran quarterbacks and injured players, or the designated reporting date for all other veteran players.

Veteran quarterbacks and “injured players” (as defined in CBA Article 21, Section 6) may be required to report to the club’s preseason training camp no earlier than five days immediately prior to the mandatory reporting date for all other veteran players, provided the club has already opened (or simultaneously opens) its official preseason training camp for all rookies.
July 21 At 4:00 p.m., New York time, signing period ends for Transition Players with outstanding tenders. After this date and until 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the Tuesday following the 10th weekend of the regular season, prior club has exclusive negotiating rights.

July 21 At 4:00 p.m., New York time, on July 21 (or the first scheduled day of the first NFL training camp [July 16 in 2025], whichever is later) signing period ends for unrestricted free agents to whom a “UFA Tender” was made by prior club. After this date and until 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the Tuesday following the 10th weekend of the regular season, prior club has exclusive negotiating rights.

MARK KELLY JUST OBLITERATED TRUMP ON LIVE TV — Historic Takedown Sparks National Backlash as Reports Confirm Trump’s Pennsylvania Rally Was a 200-Person Disaster; MAGA World in Full-Scale Panic Sen. Mark Kelly unleashed a blistering assault on Donald Trump that Washington hasn’t seen in years — declaring the former president has “never read the Constitution,” “doesn’t understand what it means to be an American,” and comes from a family with “zero military service,” in stark contrast to Kelly’s four generations of service. The political earthquake hit even harder when fresh reporting confirmed Trump’s rally in Pocono, Pennsylvania was a catastrophic flop, drawing barely 200 people — a humiliation so severe that insiders say Trump erupted into a profanity-laced meltdown, berating aides and demanding to know “who sabotaged” his crowd. The fallout has spiraled into a national spectacle: Republican strategists are calling the rally “the beginning of the end,” veterans groups are rallying behind Kelly’s remarks, and even longtime MAGA loyalists privately admit the optics are “beyond salvaging.” What comes next is what has Washington bracing… Full Details 👇👇

SUPREME COURT CRUSHES TRUMP OVERNIGHT — 7–2 Ruling ERASES 30+ Executive Orders, Blocks National Guard Power Grab and Mass Purges; Roberts and Barrett Turn Against Him, White House Descends Into Chaos, Government Grounded In a stunning judicial blow, Trump’s audacious attempt to militarize America and seize sweeping control has been obliterated. The Supreme Court, in a decisive 7–2 ruling, struck down more than thirty executive orders that would have allowed him to use the National Guard as immigration enforcers and to fire heads of independent agencies like the FTC, EPA, and the Federal Reserve at will. The Court’s ruling was merciless. “No president gets to be king!” they declared, leaving no room for compromise. Orders that Trump counted on to reshape government instantly vanished, rendering him powerless overnight. Shockwaves spread through Washington as Justice Barrett—Trump’s own appointee—joined in a separate opinion: “No one can erase Congress’s power by decree.” Chief Justice Roberts echoed the warning, emphasizing that unchecked executive authority would “destroy the republic.” Their betrayal was personal, and its consequences immediate. Governors across the country reacted with unbridled defiance: “My Guard, not Trump’s!” Independent agencies erupted into revolt, and both immigration and economic policy screeched to a halt. The White House is now a scene of chaos, with aides scrambling to contain the fallout. From “strongest president in history” to a powerless figurehead, Trump lost all leverage in a single night. Political insiders whisper that 2026 could go down as the graveyard of MAGA, marking the definitive end of his overreach. Yet the Court’s ruling may only be the opening salvo. Inside Washington, whispers are spreading of a hidden maneuver, something so explosive it could rewrite the rules of power entirely. What happens next won’t just shake Trump’s world… it could ignite a crisis that tears the nation apart, and no one is ready for it….⤵️
