Las Vegas, Nevada – The NFL offseason is heating up, with the official start of free agency scheduled for Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET. However, the real action kicked off on Monday when the legal tampering period began at noon. This period allows players to negotiate and agree to terms on contracts with new teams, although signings cannot be finalized until Wednesday.

Quarterbacks are always in high demand during free agency, and the excitement started early with the unexpected trade of Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders. Teams like the Giants, Jets, Steelers, Browns, Vikings, Colts, and Titans are all expected to be in the market for a new signal caller. Top free agents like Sam Darnold, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, and Justin Fields are generating a lot of interest. The Seahawks, for example, are reportedly looking to make a strong push for Darnold.

With several key players already off the market, including three of the top five and nine of the top 23 free agents, fans can expect a flurry of deals in the coming days. CBS Sports has released a list of the top 100 NFL free agents for 2025, providing a comprehensive overview of the available talent.
