The NFL offseason continues on, and the next step of the process is the beginning of the new league year. To be more specific, the new league year always begins with the legal tampering period. This year, this period begins on March 13th, and is when free agents can both negotiate, and agree, to terms on new contracts.
In other words, it is when the free agent frenzy officially begins. Around the NFL, news has already been flying around with the likes of Tom Brady retiring, teams cutting players like Bud Dupree for salary cap purposes, and more.
