Coronavirus is now impacting the NFL.
While the league isn't like others -- the NBA, NHL and MLB -- since it is not in-season, it's still having an effect on the offseason schedule.
As of now, Saturday night is the deadline for players to vote on the updated CBA, Monday at 11:59 a.m. is the deadline for teams to place the franchise/transition tag on players, Monday at noon the legal tampering period begins, and then next Wednesday free agency officially begins at 4 p.m.
On top of that, college pro days, top-30 visits, free agent visits, etc. are scheduled around the country.
Here are the latest updates.
-- According to multiple reports, the league is discussing adjustments to the NFL Draft in Las Vegas, which is scheduled for April 23.
-- Multiple teams, including the Redskins and Jets, have pulled their scouts off the road and having them fly home.
-- According to multiple reports, the league has no plans to push back the league year.
-- Multiple reports indicate there's a league-wide conference call for later on Thursday.
-- According to NFL Media, the league meeting in Florida later this month has been canceled. Most of the matters that were going to be discussed will be pushed back until May and coaches and GMs will likely attend, as well.
