Tracking every move made as NFL free agency opens
The NFL’s legal tampering period has arrived. Beginning at noon Eastern on Monday, unrestricted free agents are free to begin contract negotiations with potential new teams. However, as we have seen over the past several seasons, those negotiations wrap up rather quickly, as shortly after noon today we will learn about players agreeing to terms with new organizations.
We will be tracking the moves all week long. Before things truly get going feel free to check out our predictions for the top free agents, dive into the top free agents by position, or continue to read about some of the moves that have already been made via trade.
And yes, Sam Darnold might be the big target in free agency. What a time to be alive.
