The NFL’s highly anticipated free agency period is now in full swing, with teams able to begin negotiating contracts with certified agents of players who are set to become unrestricted free agents. The “legal tampering” period started today at noon ET and will continue until 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 13.
Some of the top free agents expected to make a big splash in the market include quarterback Kirk Cousins, defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, wide receiver Tee Higgins, linebacker Brian Burns, and defensive end Josh Allen. Yahoo Sports has comprehensive rankings and analysis to keep fans up to date on all the latest signings and rumors.
With the salary cap set at $255.4 million for this season, teams have more flexibility to make big moves in free agency. Yahoo Sports has also released team-by-team offseason primers, offering insights into each team’s salary cap situation and needs heading into the new season.
In addition to unrestricted free agents, eight players have already received the non-exclusive franchise tag, including Tee Higgins, cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, and linebacker Brian Burns. This gives their current teams the ability to match any offers they receive, or receive draft pick compensation if they decide to let them walk.
As the free agency frenzy continues to unfold, NFL fans can expect plenty of excitement and drama in the coming days. Stay tuned to Poh Diaries for all the latest updates and breaking news on the NFL free agency period.
