Believe it or not, day 1 of NFL free agency is actually Wednesday. That’s despite plenty of impending free agents already deciding where they’ll sign for 2019 and beyond.
Monday and Tuesday provided NFL teams with a “legal tampering” period to negotiate with agents of players across the league. It was in that time frame that many of the biggest names came off the board by agreeing to sign deals with new teams. Impending UFAs won’t be able to officially sign, however, until the 2019 league year officially begins at 4 p.m. on Wednesday.
Plenty of good players remain in play on the open market with NFL free agency about to kick off. So it’s worth following our official rankings and free agent tracker below to see where they sign. Some of these names could end up in New England as soon as Wednesday.
Note: Players in bold are signing with the Patriots. Struck-through players are signing elsewhere.
