The most exciting day of the NFL offseason is upon us.
Starting at 12 p.m. ET Monday, the NFL will begin its legal tampering period, when all teams will be able to speak with players in the 2023 free agent class. Teams are permitted to contact and enter into contract negotiations with agents of players who are slated to be unrestricted free agents. All that leads up to Wednesday, March 15 at 4 p.m. ET when the new league year is rung in and teams can officially ink players to deals — and teams have to get cap compliant.
Javon Hargrave and Orlando Brown will be the top free agents to monitor, as both are expected to break the bank this week. Then there’s the never ending Aaron Rodgers saga and whether or not the future Hall of Fame quarterback lands with the New York Jets.
In a separate category lies Lamar Jackson, who will be permitted to speak with teams about a potential offer sheet after the Baltimore Ravens deployed the non-exclusive franchise tag prior to the deadline. While Jackson is allowed to negotiate with teams, he cannot do so until the start of the new league year on Wednesday, per NFL rules.
As we gear up for free agency, here’s a rundown of what you need to know:
