2024 NFL Free Agent Tracker: Keeping tabs on potential signings for the upcoming season
Let the chaos ensue!
The 2024 NFL season is about to get underway, as the legal tampering period gets going two days before the official start of the new league year. The legal tampering period kicked off at noon on March 11th, and is when unrestricted free agents can begin to negotiate and agree to terms on new contracts. Those contracts can then be signed when the 2024 league year kicks off at 4 PM ET on Wednesday.
This means the free agent frenzy has officially begun. Around the NFL, news has already been flying around with players being released for salary cap purposes, street free agents signing with new teams, and more.
Throughout the coming days, be sure to continue to check in to this article (there will be a new on each day) as we will update the major news surrounding free agents and where these players will be landing for 20234.
Editorial Note: We will always add the latest news at the bottom of the stream. Also, because there were too many posts to load and the article was crashing, some of the oldest news has been removed.
In the meantime, be sure to keep tabs on SCN for the latest news and notes surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers as they prepare not just for free agency, but the 2024 NFL Draft.
