NFL Free Agency Shockers: Which Star Players Are Surprisingly Still Up for Grabs After Franchise Tagging?
As the NFL’s annual free agency period inches closer, a crucial benchmark has just been crossed. On March 3 at 4 p.m. ET, most teams wrapped up their use of franchise and transition tags—those strategic moves designed to hold onto marquee players on expiring deals and curb their market freedom. That deadline now sets the stage for the full sprint toward free agency, which officially kicks off at noon ET on March 9, when pending free agents begin negotiating with teams beyond their current rosters. Meanwhile, franchises continue their behind-the-scenes efforts to secure key talents through extensions and explore trade possibilities, though no deals can be sealed until the new league year begins at 4 p.m. ET on March 11.
