It's not quite as big a deal as it used to be, but it's still a notable date.
I can't believe it's already June! We're halfway through 2016, and only 99 days away from the NFL's Thursday kickoff opener. That also means we're 103 days away from the San Francisco 49ers Monday Night Football opener.
June 1 used to be a significant day in the offseason calendar. Teams looking to cut veterans and save cap money would wait until June 1, and that would open the door to a final notable wave of free agency. Additionally, June 1 was the date when the comp pick formula was no longer impacted.
