With the Super Bowl over, we can look firmly ahead to the 2020 offseason. The Arizona Cardinals have a lot of work to do. What is coming up in the offseason?
Here are the important offseason dates to know:
- February 3: Waiver system begins. The Cardinals are No. 8 on the waiver priority list this offseason.
- February 24-March 2: NFL Scouting Combine
- February 25: First day teams can use franchise or transition tags. Perhaps the Cardinal use this on tackle D.J. Humphries.
- March 10: Deadline to use franchise or transition tags.
- March 16: “Legal tampering period” for free agency begins.
- March 18: Free agency begins, new league year begins, trades can be made official. The Cardinals must have offered qualifying tenders to exclusive rights free agents and restricted free agents.
- March 29-April 1: Annual League Meeting
- April 17: Deadline for restricted free agents to sign offer sheets
- April 20: Offseason program can begin for Cardinals
- April 23-25: 2020 NFL Draft
There is more after that, but the draft ends one part of the offseason and begins the next.
