Follow all the movements of the 2022 free agency in the NFL
A few hours before the official start of the transfer market for the new season, player movements have been surprising in the current season break
This Monday began the famous period of “legal sabotage” that the NFL each year a couple of days before the official opening of the free agency market, when teams are allowed to engage in talks with players who will be free agents, though no deals can be finalized until the start of the new league year, the Wednesday March 16.
The moves came fast this year.
A significant number of big-card free agents have reached agreements to sign, once they’re allowed, with new teams.
In the same way, several teams have agreed to exchange players, waiting to be made official, too, at the start of the new league year.
Finally, several players headed to the open free agency market have agreed to stay with their current teams by renewing with a new contract. These agreements can be signed immediately.
Next, we offer a list –team by team– of all the movements reported by the ESPN NFL Nationtaking into account that trades and free agent signings with new teams are waiting to be made official with the official start of the new league year:
