The NFL free agency frenzy is officially underway, with the “legal tampering” period kicking off today and free agency set to begin on March 13 at 4 p.m. ET. This year, fantasy football enthusiasts can look forward to live reactions and analysis from Yahoo Sports experts as teams make moves to shore up their rosters.
With the NFL salary cap set at an impressive $255.4 million for the upcoming season, teams have more flexibility to make big moves in free agency. This represents a $30 million increase from the previous year, giving franchises more room to maneuver in the player market.
To help fans stay on top of all the action, Yahoo Sports NFL writer Frank Schwab has compiled a list of the top 25 NFL free agents, as well as the top five free agents at each position. This will give fans an idea of who to keep an eye on as teams scramble to secure top talent.
In the lead-up to free agency, eight players have already received the non-exclusive franchise tag. This includes standout players like Tee Higgins, Brian Burns, and Josh Allen, who will likely be off the market as teams seek to lock them down with long-term contracts.
During this period, teams are permitted to negotiate with certified agents of players who are set to become unrestricted free agents. Additionally, players without representation can engage in discussions with team officials regarding contract negotiations, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the free agency period.
