NFL free agency officially begins at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 11, with the start of the new league year, but teams can actually begin negotiating and agreeing to terms with players at noon ET on Monday, March 9.
Before this trading window, teams can also re-sign their own free agents to extensions. And the franchise/transition deadline just passed Tuesday with four players receiving one: Cowboys WR George Pickens, Falcons TE Kyle Pitts Sr., Jets RB Breece Hall and Colts QB Daniel Jones (transition tag).
Which teams might be interested in quarterbacks Malik Willis and Kyler Murray? What’s the latest from edge rusher Trey Hendrickson and running back Kenneth Walker III? And which big-name actors are available as trade candidates?
