NFL Free Agency Tracker: Key Updates
As the NFL prepares for its free agency period, a central question arises: which players will secure lucrative contracts, and how will this reshape team rosters? Free agency begins on March 10, 2026, with the legal tampering period, leading into the new league year starting on March 12, 2026.
Among the notable players, Trey Hendrickson is projected to sign a contract worth 3 years and $99 million. His impressive performance, with 74.5 sacks since 2020, ranks him third in the league, making him a highly sought-after player.
Jaelan Phillips is also in the spotlight, with a reported contract of 4 years and $120 million. Last season, he finished fourth in pressure rate among edge rushers, showcasing his value on the field.
Another player to watch is Devin Lloyd, who has a reported contract of 3 years and $45 million. His five interceptions in 2025 tied him for the second-most in the league, highlighting his defensive prowess.
Daniel Jones, currently under a transition tag worth $37.8 million for 2026, previously signed a one-year, $14 million deal with the Colts last offseason. His future remains uncertain as teams evaluate their quarterback needs.
Tyler Linderbaum is projected to sign a contract of 3 years and $81 million. He is regarded as one of the best run blockers in the league, making him an attractive target for teams looking to bolster their offensive line.
The upcoming free agency period is critical for NFL front offices, which are preparing for a hectic offseason. With key players like Kenneth Walker III, Aaron Rodgers, Breece Hall, George Pickens, and Kirk Cousins also in the mix, teams will need to make strategic decisions to enhance their rosters.
As the clock ticks down to the start of free agency, the landscape of the NFL is poised for change. Details remain unconfirmed regarding specific negotiations and potential trades, but the anticipation is building as teams prepare to make their moves.
