The NFL’s free agency negotiating window will open Monday (10:00 a.m. MT on March 11), followed by the official start of the new league year on Wednesday (2:00 p.m. MT on March 13).
Teams can reach agreements with players starting Monday, but no signings (or trades) can become official until the new league year begins Wednesday.
