As many of you may well know Free Agency begins the start of the new 2022 NFL season: NFL: NFL teams are allowed to negotiate with the agents of prospective unrestricted free agents during a period beginning March 14 at 12 p.m. ET and ending at 3:59:59 p.m. ET on March 16. Prospective UFAs who don’t have an agent can negotiate with front office executives of teams
Even though this is the week of the scouting combine more illegal tampering and deals are being made during this time in Indy more that the glorified underwear show taking place this week.
Free Agency comes first and below (thanks to NLF.com & Pro Football Network) is a list of the top Free Agents for 2022 and also my top 25 list. Who do you want Miami to pursue? I have always been one to take the youngest players available because older veterans have injury concerns that pop up the older, they get.
