What is the deal with the sudden rush by CPU teams to sign free agents on 6 April?

Each time I have started a league (no inaugural draft, no historical players) I am the only team signing players from 1 January until 6 April. Then, suddenly, on 6 April I get a flood of emails about other teams signing players for the next 1-2 weeks.

There's no competition for players at game start, which means I can load my roster fairly easily, even with a mid-market team.

And the timing is *really* weird. That date (6 April) is 2-3 days after the start of the regular season...a very odd time to be signing players, in my mind.
