The NFL year officially starts March 14, but free agent frenzy has already started.
The league made a rule a few years ago allowing teams to talk to agents of players in hopes of hammering out new contracts with new teams. Though players cannot offically sign the contracts until March 14, everything can be put into place before then. And boy has their been leaked news of big names switching teams. Some of the highlights are:
- Kirk Cousins signing with Minnesota Vikings
- Allen Robinson signing with Chicago Bears
- Sammy Watkins signing with Kansas City Chiefs
- Jarvis Landry traded to Cleveland Browns
- Marcus Peters traded to L.A. Rams
- Alex Smith traded to Washington Redskins
- Ndamakong Suh released by Miami Dolphins
- Malcolm Butler signing with Tennessee Titans
...and this is just the beginning.
So much more is expected to happen in the upcoming days. The landscape of the NFL is going to look drastically different. Teams that were .500 or worse have a great chance of improving their record and possibly even making the playoffs after the moves they've made or the moves they will make.
As an NFL fan, I'm truly excited for the new nfl year and look forward to an action-packed season.
Go Dolphins!
