FFL Draft/Free Agency day
Sunday, September 4th, 2016
Last day to place drafted rookies on the practice squad. All rookies you draft will be automatically placed there. Once the season starts if a rookie is on your active rosters they can not be put on the practice squad and once a practice squad rookie is activated to your main roster they can not move back down to the practice squad. This is the deadline to have the flexible back and forth option.
Sunday, October 30th, 2016
The deadline to make trades is 12:00 PM EST. After this deadline there can be no more trades made until the league reopens for the 2016 offseason.
Sunday, November 20th, 2016
The deadline to sign free agents or activate players from the practice squad or place players on injured reserve is the kickoff of the 1 PM games. Once this deadline has passed any players who are still on waivers can be claimed. If a player is received off of waivers and a player is released to make room for them then that player will not go to waivers and instead will be declared ineligible to be signed (along with all other free agents) for the season.
