If you've been keeping up with the NFL since the 2026 season ended, then you know that the free agency period is currently underway: it started on Wednesday, March 11, at 4 p.m. ET. This marks the start of the new legal year, followed by a two-day "legal tampering" negotiation window that opened on March 9th. This means that during those two days, players could negotiate or agree on terms with their teams.
