Add this to another key NFL off-season date this year:

 

More info on which city or cities will get SB LX and maybe LXI will be announced this off-season:

 

 

[H2o]

@Ga boyhere is a good breakdown of offseason activities coming up. 

[Gregg]

I can't wait for the NFL schedule to be released which in recent years has been in May.

True. 

[H2o]

The season just ended, but the legal tampering period will be here before you know it. March 13th. Heck, it's already February 16th. There really isn't too much of a lull and the offseason gets moving rather quickly after the presentation of the Lombardi trophy. Especially when you factor in the combine and finishing up of coaching hires.

[SoCal Deek]

Speaking of the calendar, does anyone know when the London game will be announced? Exact date and opponent? It’s usually ahead of the full schedule release.

The schedule comes out in May so maybe April for the London game.

Thanks H2.  So I have to wait until mid March to know status of Maine and Motor?

Yeah, unless we work something out prior to, or us the Franchise Tag on Edmunds. Hope we don't, but we shall see. That could be possible, but I think Singletary for sure will be allowed to test FA.

Mid March isn’t that far away. Look at it from the Team’s perspective. If Edmunds is gone, they have just a few weeks to rethink much of their draft board. It’ll be interesting. (On the other hand, I cannot say the same for Singletary.)

One perspective is that we lose with Maine in post season against good QBs, but another perspective is we wouldn’t be there without him due to wins against rest of the league.  He was at his best this year and will prolly get better.  Tough call.

So it was driving me crazy who all of the faces are here.  Some were easy, Mike McDaniel looking the dorky part.  Some look different to me in street clothes though.  Here’s my best guess at who’s pictured, tell me where I’m wrong:

 

1st row:  Harbaugh, Rhule(?), Hackett, Allen, McVay, McD, McDaniels, McDaniel (4 Mc’s in a row, coincidence?)

2nd row:  Sirianni, A. Smith, Vrabel, Saleh, Rivera, LaFleur, Taylor, L. Smith, Stefanski

 

3rd row:  Staley(?, hiding back there), Daboll, Eberflus, Shanahan (most awkwardly placed person; take a step down,bud), Tomlin, Carroll, Kingsbury, O’Connell, Reid, Pederson, Reich

 

Missing:  Belicheat, McCarthy, Campbell, Bowles

You nailed it (but switch Arians for Bowles). Here's who's missing:

There was a great thread about this here last year:
