Free agency starts next Monday at noon ET

[Woodman]

One week from today, free agency begins.
Technically, it doesn’t start until Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. ET. As a practical matter, it gets going at noon ET on Monday, March 11.
That’s when the so-called “legal tampering” period begins. Teams will start calling agents to officially extend offers. Plenty of those offers will be quickly accepted, since they were negotiated and wink-nod finalized before the legal tampering period opened. Reports will emerge, courtesy of agents sending out text messages to one or more reporters, of deals being done. The numbers will be inflated. Sometimes by a little, sometimes by a lot.

Wednesday at 4PM is also the salary cap compliance deadline.

Bates traded to the Bears for a 5th.

Bates traded to the Bears for a 5th.

A bit of a shock imo. The Bears have been trying to get him and they finally did.

I hope he doesn’t turn into another Wyatt Teller for us.

Is this a signal that we’re definitely drafting a C?

Whoa. I’m late in learning this news but Russel Wilson is getting cut?

Donkeys are taking a historic cap hit of $85 million on his contract. Beyond bonkers.

Although imo it was a stupid trade they made to acquire him I respect this massively bold move to course correct.

10 picks nice.

That will likely move to 11 when the league announces compensatory picks.
