Here's the important dates for the 2018 NFL season worth printing out:
https://operations.nfl.com/football-ops/league-governance/2018-important-nfl-dates/
The QB-less Cards are going to be up against some dates.
March 14 is the key date for several events regarding FA. Cards need to really have their checkbooks handy if they are going after any FA and will need to pull the trigger if they are going to sign a vet QB. We need a QB on the roster to entice other FA to the team (if you are a FA WR---probably want to sign with a team that has a QB and know who is throwing you the rock. LOL).
With a new head coach, Cards can open off season training on April 2 whereas teams with a returning HC have to wait until April 16. That gives new HC teams time to implement their new schemes/playbooks. The problem with that date is that is is before the draft---even if the Cards go to the draft for a QB---he's not getting the benefit of that expanded preseason time.
