NFL Free Agency Buzz: Big Moves and Rumors Swirl as Legal Tampering Period Begins
As NFL free agency kicks into high gear, teams around the league are gearing up to make big moves and unleash a flurry of rumors. The “legal tampering” period officially began today at noon ET, allowing teams to negotiate contracts with agents of soon-to-be unrestricted free agents until March 13.
March 13 marks the official start of free agency at 4 p.m. ET, coinciding with the beginning of the NFL’s new league year. Top free agents on the market this year include players like Kirk Cousins, Brian Burns, and Tee Higgins, among others.
