The new league year begins Wednesday at 3 p.m., and free agents will be able to officially sign with teams. Here are my thoughts on today's NFL free-agent news.
1:12 p.m.: The terms for new Chiefs linebacker Anthony Hitchens' new deal is in. It's for five years and $45 million, with a $14 million signing bonus and $25 million in guarantees. There's also a first-year cap hit of approximately $3.6 million, along with a maximum of $500,000 per year in per-game bonuses starting in 2020. He'll also have a maximum of $200,000 in workout bonuses starting next season, and his base salaries of $790,000 in 2018 and $6.
