I'm reading conflicting reports.

And is it 3pm AZ time or EST ?

It is Friday at 6pm Eastern, so 3pm Arizona time.

Is that when they are official? Or when they can be announced? Is there a different rule for each?

Shoot, that's what I thought but all these reports said tomorrow. I CANNOT WAIT ANOTHER DAY AND A HALF!

They can't be announced and signed until Friday.

Beginning Thursday, NFL teams can waive and release players. Full-blown free agency opens on Friday evening, the same day most players can begin reporting to training camp

Cool. Now I can go play golf tomorrow instead of waiting around to see if we have a new QB.

Trades can happen at anytime. Free agent signings have to wait. Though I vote to go golf. Nothing beats a good round of golf.

Sounds like the way some Cardinal fans I know do Sundays at UPS.
