So free agency begins March 12?

From what that says I would think so. I do think we can renegotiate all contracts of players that are currently under contract with us though for a short window of time prior since it's still considered the 2012 season till then.

I consider visiting .Net all throughout the long offseason to be the methadone to my Wilson addiction. Time to sober up, reach out to the family and friends again (hopefully they will have me even though I'll be a stung out junkie again come August).

It only gets boring for about six weeks from the end of the May mini-camps to the start of training camp at the end of July. Otherwise there is always something going on. Something to debate.

Draft party anyone? Already booked my ticket up to Seattle on Apr 25th. Hopefully they'll do it at the Clink again because last year was freaking awesome.

Missing the most important day of all. Schedule release day!

I'd argue the most important day for Hawk fans is missing, but it's the superbowl on Feb. 2, 2014.

when are schedules released

Right around the Draft. Give or take a week. It's never on the "official" schedule when it's going to be released, but as it gets closer, they generally will release the exact date, including an NFL Schedule release show on either the NFL Network, and/or ESPN
