Beyond our Green Bay Packers coverage, we’re going to use this article to drop in all of the league-wide news from the first day of the “legal tampering window” of free agency today. Officially, teams are allowed to speak to players’ representation, but not players directly, at noon Eastern on Monday. Unofficially, a lot of these talks started two weeks ago when the league gathered in Indianapolis for the NFL Scouting Combine. Expect things to move quickly.
Beyond just contracts that have been executed, we’ll bring you rumors that link players to teams and any trades or cuts that occur today. As of Monday morning, Over the Cap has six NFL teams over the salary cap — which they need to be under by the start of the new league year on Wednesday. Some teams will need to manipulate their cap space just to participate in free agency at all, so more talent could be hitting the market shortly.
