The NFL "legal tampering" period is scheduled for 12 p.m. EST on March 16, during which time the Cleveland Browns can talk to the agents of players scheduled to become free agents. This is a crucial time for agents to gauge whether there is interest in their clients from other teams, and they are also allowed to discuss financial terms on a potential deal. The official free agent signings will start at 4 p.m. on Wednesday March 18.
The Browns are not going to spend money like drunken sailors like they did last year, but they will likely be in the market for a few key players, including at least one offensive tackle.
