The legal tapping window opens Monday at noon eastern time, letting teams negotiate with players right away. Official signings and pre-agree trades can happen Wednesday, March 11th, at 4pm eastern, when the new league year starts. One of the biggest moves so far, has the Las Vegas Raiders trading star defensive end, Max Crosby, to the Baltimore Ravens for two first round picks. That clears the way for their rebuild around the number one draft pick, expected to be Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza. Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers are finalizing a deal, sending Edge Russia, Rashan Gary, to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2027 fourth round. Pick, fans are buzzing about the shakeups, especially with 10 teams hiring new coaches this season, and coordinator changes shaking things up.

1:00These shifts mean more surprises than usual, as teams reshape rosters. The Cowboys just restructured right tackle Terrence Steel's contract, freeing up about $13 million in cap space, perfect timing after, grabbing Gary. Now they have $22 million guarantee for steel on a deal worth up to $36 million. Wide receiver Alec Pierce looks set for a massive payday, at least $27 million a year, with teams like the Patriots, commanders, Raiders, and Titans interested. He's talking extension with the Colts, but open to free agency offers. Top free agents still out there include defensive end tray Hendrickson, and centered Tyler Linderbaum.
