NFL announces that free agency will start on time

After much discussion and several meetings, the new league year, and free agency, will officially start on Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. ET.

The discussion to delay the signing period stems from the optics of free agents landing hundreds of millions in deals while the country and globe deal with the fallout from the coronavirus.
