Here is an overview of important dates for the Indianapolis Colts in the 2023-24 league year. All times are Eastern and all dates are subject to change, per the NFL.
The Indianapolis Colts, along with the rest of the NFL, have broken for summer break following mandatory minicamp. Important NFL dates throughout July are provided via their official list. Full credit to the NFL for the construction of the following list.
July 17th
At 4:00 p.m., New York time, the deadline for any club that designated a Franchise Player to sign such player to a multiyear contract or extension. After this date, the player may sign only a one-year contract with his prior club for the 2023 season, and such a contract cannot be extended until after the club’s last regular season game.
Mid-July
Clubs are permitted to open preseason training camp for rookies (defined as a player who has never signed a player contract with an NFL club in a prior League Year) beginning seven days prior to the club’s earliest permissible mandatory reporting date for veteran players. A club’s preseason training camp will be deemed to have officially opened on the designated reporting date for all rookies.
Clubs may require first-year players (defined as a player who signed a player contract with any NFL club in a prior League Year, but who does not have a pension-credited season) to report on the designated reporting date for all rookies, or at any time thereafter, including, but not limited to, the designated reporting date for veteran quarterbacks and injured players, or the designated reporting date for all other veteran players.
Veteran quarterbacks and “injured players” (as defined in CBA Article 21, Section 6) may be required to report to the club’s preseason training camp no earlier than five days immediately prior to the mandatory reporting date for all other veteran players, provided the club has already opened (or simultaneously opens) its official preseason training camp for all rookies.
Beginning on the date the first training camp opens for rookies through the last business day before the Super Bowl, all tryouts and visits will be reported to clubs on the Personnel Notice.
July 24th
