With the San Francisco 49ers currently on summer break before the start of 49ers Training Camp presented by SAP, here is a reminder of some prominent dates on the upcoming league calendar.
Below is a list of the important dates for the upcoming 2017 NFL season.
July 17: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. After this date, the player may sign only a one-year contract with his prior club for the 2017 season, and such contract cannot be extended until after the club's last regular season game.
Mid July: Clubs are permitted to open preseason training camp for rookies beginning seven days prior to the club's earliest permissible mandatory reporting date for veteran players. Veteran players other than quarterbacks or injured players may report to a club's preseason training camp no earlier than 15 days prior to the club's first scheduled preseason game or July 15, whichever is later.
View the top images of the offense during the team's offseason program.
A three-day acclimation period will apply to players who are on a club's roster up to and including the mandatory veteran reporting date. Players who report to camp, or join the club's roster, or receive medical clearance to practice during the three-day acclimation period are required to complete as much of the acclimation period as remains. Players who report to camp, or join the club's roster, or receive medical clearance to practice after the three-day acclimation period has ended may practice (including wearing pads) and play immediately after passing a physical.
July 24:Signing period ends for Transition Players with outstanding tenders.
August 8:Deadline for players under contract to report to their clubs to earn an accrued season for free agency. If a drafted rookie has not signed with his club by this date, he cannot be traded to any other club in 2017, and may sign a player contract only with the drafting club until the day of the Draft in the 2018 League Year.
August 9-13: First Preseason Weekend. 49ers at Chiefs will take place on August 11.
August 17-21: Second Preseason Weekend. 49ers vs. Broncos will take place on August 19.
August 24-27: Third Preseason Weekend. 49ers at Vikings will take place on August 27.
