New York – The NFL free agency frenzy officially kicked off on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET, marking the start of a new league year. A whirlwind of player movements took place during the legal tampering period across Monday and Tuesday, but now all those deals are official. One significant move includes the release of Aaron Rodgers from the Jets, as his future remains a hot topic.
With many top free agents already signed, plenty of big names are still available. Rodgers is reportedly debating between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants. Meanwhile, Russell Wilson recently visited the Browns and looks to meet with the Giants next. Another quarterback to watch is Kirk Cousins, who has expressed desire for a starting role, but the Falcons are keen on keeping him.
Among the noteworthy signings, former Rams receiver Cooper Kupp has agreed to terms with the Seahawks on a three-year, $45 million deal. Seattle is in dire need of receivers after losing DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, and Kupp’s return to Washington adds a feel-good factor, as he is a local product. He’ll be joining quarterback Sam Darnold and Jaxson Smith-Njigba on the offense.
The Cowboys are making an aggressive move by acquiring Dante Fowler Jr. on a one-year, $8 million deal, making it a significant addition to their defense. Fowler returns to Dallas after a successful year with the Commanders. The Chiefs have also been active, signing Jerry Tillery to boost their defensive line, while the Bills are dealing with the suspension of defensive tackles Larry Ogunjobi and Michael Hoecht for violating the NFL’s PED policy.
The Bengals are reportedly on the verge of finalizing lucrative contracts with receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, potentially making Chase the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league.
As the dust settles and players finalize their decisions, fans are eager to see where will stars land next. There’s still plenty of talent left on the board, making this free agency period one to keep an eye on. With updates pouring in daily, the landscape of the NFL is shifting, revealing an exciting path as teams prepare for the upcoming season.
