NFL free agency start date

The key moment for NFL free-agent signings is 4 PM ET on March 13, which signals the start of the 2024 NFL season and is when players can signs with new teams.

Before then, teams may designate Franchise and Transition players between February 20 and March 5, which ties players who sign their tag deals to the team for another season, unless another team is willing to give up draft picks for them.

News of likely free-agent moves will begin to appear two days before the deadline, as teams are permitted to contact and enter into contract negotiations with impending free agents from midday ET on March 11. This 52-hour window is commonly known as the legal tampering period.

There are some high-profile names on this year's list of potential free agents, who could of course still sign another contract with their current teams rather than look for a fresh start.
