As the calendar keeps clicking forward toward March, free agency gets closer and closer. We’re now less than three weeks away from the opening of the 2018 NFL league year, when free agents will be able to begin signing with new teams.
For many of those free agents, judging their value on the open market will be a challenge before the negotiation period starts up on March 12th. Next week’s Scouting Combine will be an opportunity for the players’ agents to meet with their previous teams’ front offices to talk numbers, but they cannot do so with other teams until the 12th.
