The start of the NFL league year will NOT be moved and will start on time.
Schedule:
*Monday, 11:59am ET: Deadline to use franchise or transition tag
*Monday, noon ET: Legal tampering period
*Wednesday, 4pm ET: Free agency opens (deals/trades become official)
The NFL Players Association says: No one is traveling anyway. It’s not football activity, it’s deals. Everyone is working remotely. Let’s do our business remotely. And this could get worse before it gets better. So do it now.
Now official. NFL sent memo to teams, informing them: Negotiation window noon tomorrow. League year weds. Franchise designation ends tomorrow at noon. Official.

I'm told there will be no delay to the NFL league year, per source.
