The NFL offseason continues on, and the next step of the process is the beginning of the new league year. To be more specific, the new league year always begins with the legal tampering period. This year, this period begins on March 13th, and is when free agents can both negotiate, and agree, to terms on new contracts.
In other words, it is when the free agent frenzy officially begins. Around the NFL, news has already been flying around with the likes of Tom Brady retiring, teams cutting players like Bud Dupree for salary cap purposes, and more.
Throughout the coming days, be sure to continue to check in to this article as we will update the major news surrounding free agents and where these players will be landing for 2023. An editorial note, we will always add the latest news at the bottom of the stream of news.
In the meantime, be sure to keep tabs on BTSC for the latest news and notes surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers as they prepare not just for free agency, but the 2023 NFL Draft.
