With the draft only 17 days away the NFL needing to ramp up the buzz, the official schedule release should be fast arriving according to Pro Football Talk.
The current thinking, per a source with knowledge of the situation, is that the sheet will be removed from the schedule on Tuesday, April 21, Wednesday, April 22, or Thursday, April 23.
Wednesday seems to be the least likely, given that ESPN currently has a Major League Baseball game scheduled for that night. (Then again, the NFL schedule-release show likely would draw more eyeballs.)
Now hearing that the 2015 regular-season schedule is currently set to be released on Thursday, April 23, but the date could change.
