NFL free agency is on the horizon.
It doesn’t officially open until March 10, when the legal tampering window — a two-day period prior to the start of the new league year — opens at noon ET. Free agents can’t officially sign with new teams until 4 p.m. ET on March 12.
Players on the open market can also agree to new deals with the teams they’re currently on before then. A few have already done so, while others are waiting to see if they’ll be placed on the franchise tag, which would make their free agency difficult.
Here’s a look at which players have already inked new deals and the best free agents available, via FOX Sports’ 2025 NFL free agent top 100 rankings.
