What time does NFL free agency start today (3/9/17)?

NFL free agency begins Thursday, March 9, 2017 (3/9/17) at 4 p.m. Eastern, with 32 teams able to sign available free agents.

The negotiating -- or legal tampering -- period began Tuesday at noon.

Some free agents, like wide receiver Brandon Marshall, who signed with the Giants, didn't have to wait because they had been cut by their former teams.
