The NFL's 2022 league year will officially begin on Wednesday afternoon. There will be a lot of action up until that point already, however: as has been the ...

In case another team signs a tendered restricted free agent to an offer sheet, New England would have five days to match or receive the draft pick appropriate for the tender as compensation. While unrestricted free agents like those listed above are allowed to enter early negotiations today, restricted and exclusive-rights players are still only eligible to talk to the teams currently holding their rights. New England has three players carrying the restricted free agents tag, and no exclusive-rights players. While the NFL’s legal tampering period is a fine theoretical idea, it also is one that appears to have little actual meaning to the clubs. While teams are not allowed to talk with other teams’ upcoming free agents before the legal tampering window, there are some questions about how strictly the NFL enforces its own rules. Preliminary discussions are still common practice — one the league apparently does tolerate, to a degree. The start of the new league year also is the time when trades can be made official. However, it seems more likely that the contract was already worked on and basically finalized before the legal tampering window opened. Defensively, three linebackers — Dont’a Hightower, Ja’Whaun Bentley, Jamie Collins — will be subject to legal tampering this year. In 2013, the NFL wanted to crack down on its team’s pre-free agency tampering by introducing the legal tampering period. The NFL memo explained all that as follows: The NFL’s 2022 league year will officially begin on Wednesday afternoon.

La vague de prolongations contractuelles s'est poursuivie dans la NFL, lundi, deux jours avant l'ouverture du marché des joueurs autonomes.

La saison dernière, Trubisky était le substitut de Josh Allen chez les Bills de Buffalo. En quatre petites apparitions sur le terrain en 2021, il a complété 75 % des relais qu’il a tentés pour 43 verges. La saison dernière, il a réussi huit interceptions, dont une retournée pour un majeur, en plus de rabattre 23 passes. Toujours selon NFL Network, il pourrait toucher jusqu’à 47,5 millions $ avec les bonis de performance. Il a aussi provoqué un échappé et réussi 58 plaqués. Ses performances lui ont même valu une première nomination au Pro Bowl. Il amorcera en 2022 sa septième campagne au sein du circuit.

The Jacksonville Jaguars got busy early with four free agent signings including Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk.

He has 25 picks over the past four seasons, most in the league. “These decisions are always difficult, but we wish Jarvis well and we look forward to the day when he returns as a storied Browns alumnus.” Miami badly needs a reliable running back and gets one in Edmonds, who would have been a backup to Conner in Arizona. “We are excited to have Preston continue his career with the Packers,” general manger Brian Gutekunst said. Others are clearing out players with large cap hits to add more spending room or because they plan to bring in replacements. Most aggressive was the worst team in the league.

Tom Brady!!! I knew he wasn’t ready to shut it down! In that same vein, Brady's return is also extremely good news for members of the Bucs' roster. — Tampa Bay Buccaneers (@Buccaneers)— Tampa Bay Buccaneers (@Buccaneers) pic.twitter.com/jj1uP3qHaw March 13, 2022 On Sunday evening, 40 days after announcing his retirement from pro football, Brady reversed course and declared that he would continue playing and suit up in 2022. While Brady will be 45 come Week 1, his leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to an NFC South title and a playoff victory in 2021 showed that he is far from over the hill or truly in twilight.

Tom Brady is pulling a Brett Favre, and there isn't anything wrong with that. Just like Favre and other great NFL players, Brady won't retire until he is ...

It’s just that he won’t find many other non-NFL activities to make him rank the equivalent of ninth on the Forbes’ 2021 World's Highest-Paid Athletes Earnings list at $76 million. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. I think I can. "These past two months I've realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands,'' Brady tweeted Sunday night. I think it’s a yes.” I'm coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa.''
