2024 NFL free agency tracker: Rumors, Day 2 news as contracts fly in
NFL free agency doesn't officially start until Wednesday afternoon, but players can continue agreeing to deals Tuesday. Keep track of all the latest buzz.
2024 NFL Free Agency Updates
The NFL's 2024 free agency period is currently underway. Players with expiring contracts can negotiate with new teams and also have the option to re-sign with their current clubs. However, new deals cannot be formalized until the league year officially begins on Wednesday, March 13, at 4 p.m. ET.
Notable Moves and Remaining Free Agents
- RB Aaron Jones, who was cut by the Green Bay Packers, has reportedly signed a one-year, $7 million deal with the Minnesota Vikings. Jones finished the 2023 season strongly, exceeding 100 rushing yards in his final five appearances, including the playoffs. He is expected to be a significant upgrade for the Vikings.
- CB Darious Williams, who was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars, is set to re-sign with the Los Angeles Rams on a three-year contract. Williams was a member of the Rams team that won Super Bowl 56 and started 17 games in the 2023 season, intercepting four passes.
- DT DaQuan Jones has re-signed with the Buffalo Bills on a two-year, $16.5 million contract. Jones had a strong performance in his first year with the Bills in 2022 and continued to play at a high level in 2023 before suffering an injury. He is an important piece of the Bills' defensive line.
- LB Kenneth Murray, a former first-round pick, is expected to sign a two-year, $18 million contract with the Tennessee Titans. Murray logged 321 tackles in four years with the Los Angeles Chargers and will provide inside linebacker help for the Titans.
Early Signings and Contract Terminations
Some players have already signed deals or switched teams before the official start of free agency. This is possible because the tampering window is open, allowing players to reach agreements with teams. In some cases, contracts are terminated early, making players "street free agents" and eligible to sign with new teams immediately. This can help clear cap space and give veterans a head start in the free agent process.
Start of NFL Free Agency
