Monday, July 25th, marked the day that the NFL Lockout officially ended. It took 136 days to figure everything out between the Owners and the NFLPA. With football back underway, here is how the new timeline of events will happen.

Monday: The NFL will announce that teams can go to 90-man rosters and the official free-agent list will be distributed to teams.

Tuesday: Trading begins. Teams can reach agreements with rookies and undrafted free agents beginning at 10 a.m. ET. Teams can reach agreements with all free agents and signed players are allowed to enter team facilities.
