The NFL has at long last given the general public the final version of their full league calendar, which lists every important date leading up to the start of the 2016 season. Bask in its logistical glow, everyone. Bask, I say!
| January 4 | Clubs may begin signing free agent players for the 2016 season. |
| January 4 | Clubs may renegotiate or extend the rookie contract of a drafted rookie who was selected in the 2013 NFL Draft. Any permissible renegotiated or extended player contract will not be considered a rookie contract, and will not be subject to the rules that limit rookie contracts. |
