NFL free agency 2024 winners, losers from Day 1: Eagles, Falcons stand out originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
Talk about starting with a bang.
Day one of the 2024 NFL free agency period wasted no time seeing big names on the move.
It started late Sunday night when Russell Wilson announced his decision to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers, which is expectedly a one-year, team-friendly deal since the Denver Broncos are paying the majority of his $38 million salary.
Early Monday -- with no deals official until Wednesday -- saw Christian Wilkins join the Las Vegas Raiders, Josh Jacobs depart Sin City for the Green Bay Packers, Kirk Cousins move to the Atlanta Falcons and Saquon Barkley spurn the New York Giants for the Philadelphia Eagles, among other intriguing moves.
