What time today are we allowed to talk with FA?

[allsilverdreams]

If I'm correct teams can start talking with players 3 days prior to the start of signing date. That is the 17 th .
So that means sometime today.

For me on the west coast it starts at 9 pm tonight. We should hear some deals agreed on by then. For east coast it’s midnight. As soon as the clock reads March 15th it will start getting good.

Not sure of the exact time brother, but rest assured, after the trade of Lawson for McKinney, we're fairly certain to be adding a FA player who can play OLB/DE hybrid edge. I doubt they'd have made the Van Noy cut AND Lawson trade without that.

This legal tampering sh1t is stupid....and has ruined the first day of free agency. Basically free agency starts at legal tampering time and by 2-3 days later when it officially starts, most big loads have already been blown.

 

[Jssanto]

I just read teams have to be under the cap by March 17. That is not correct isit?
