If you’re among the Kansas City Chiefs fans who are concerned about the number of personnel moves the team has made so far this offseason, don’t worry. That’s going to change very soon.
During the beginning of the offseason, NFL rules strictly prohibit teams from contacting players under contract with other franchises; teams can’t even communicate with agents for such players. And since NFL player contracts all run to the conclusion of a particular league year, there can be — in theory, at least — no negotiating between teams and pending free agents between the end of the previous season and the time player contracts end in mid-March.
