According to John Ourand of the Sports Business Journal, the NFL will release the 2013 schedule on April 16th.  This report has also appeared on SB Nation.

What we know for sure is the schedule is always released before the NFL draft.  This year the draft is scheduled to take place from Thursday April 25th through Saturday April 27th.  So even if the report of the schedule being released on April 16th is inaccurate, it will definitely be right around that date.

We do know who the Jets 2013 opponents will be, that list appears below.

New York Jets

Home:

Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Oakland Raiders

Away:

Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Tennessee Titans

It’s now officially the time to look for the unofficial clues
regarding the date on which the NFL will release the 2013 schedule.

And the biggest clue comes via Mark Durant of the Greenfield (Mass.)

Recorder, who has passed along to PFT that he spotted

among NFL Network’s online listings a Schedule Release Show to

be aired on Tuesday, April 16, at 8:00 p.m. ET.

Landing nine days before the draft, the timing makes sense.  Also,
Tuesday has become the usual day of the week on which the NFL

pulls the sheet off the new schedule.

The strangest aspect of the listing is that the NFL in recent years
has kept the listings for NFL Network vague in the weeks before the
schedule release, allowing for flexibility and also creating buzz as
folks with nothing better to do (i.e., me) wonder when we’ll find out

the “when” that goes with what we already know — the “who” and

the “where.”

Think about that for a second.  We already know the opponents and the
locations for all 256 regular-season games.  But yet the announcement
of the week-by-week configuration of the games will be the dominant news
of the sports world, for at least one news cycle.

Eat that, Orioles.
