When the 2019 NFL league year begins March 14, a number of teams will attempt to make a big splash with their free-agent signings.
That's the date that teams can present contractual offers to free agents and bring them into the fold. The kickoff time for the start of free agency is 4 p.m. ET.
While the NFL Draft is still considered the primary tool for addressing long-term success, free agency gives teams a chance to turn weaknesses into strengths. Finding the right pass rusher, offensive tackle, or quarterback can deliver a jolt of confidence to any organization and help propel it to contender status.
