TheBeaneBandit Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I know clubs can start contacting agents on the 11th, so does that mean tonight at midnight?

YoloinOhio Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) Tonight at midnight is the legal tampering period where they can start actual negotiations, based on previous years we will start to hear who is going where. Wednesday is when the deals can be signed and visits can begin. The talks started at the combine though (illegally) edit - I’m wrong it’s 12pm est tomorrow. Yay for sleep.

To think agents and teams haven’t been speaking in ‘ hypothetical ‘ terms for awhile is just silly. IIRC the Haynesworth deal with the Redskins was done at 1201 am. That’s was a big deal to get done In 1 minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jahnyc Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 From what I have read on various websites, I believe the free agency negotiation period begins at 4 pm tomorrow (March 11th). This surprised me because I seem to recall it always started at 12:01am in previous years. Maybe it has changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This article indicates it started at noon last year. https://www.google.com/amp/s/theramswire.usatoday.com/2018/03/12/nfl-free-agency-legan-tampering-period-los-angeles-rams/amp/ NFL free agency doesn’t officially begin until Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET, but the unofficial start comes on Monday at noon ET. That kicks off what the league calls the “legal tampering” period, allowing teams to negotiate contracts with other teams’ unrestricted free agents.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 March 11-March 13 NFL teams are allowed to negotiate with the agents of prospective unrestricted free agents during a 48 hour period beginning March 11, which ends at 3:59 p.m. ET on March 13. During the two-day window, prospective unrestricted free agents can't visit teams or have direct contact with team employees, except those from their current clubs. A player's ability to re-sign with his current club isn't affected by the rule. The negotiating period does not apply to unsigned players receiving restricted free agent, franchise or transition tenders. Players who don't have an agent are also prohibited from having discussions with teams during this period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
