This Monday, right at noon in New York, the first part of free agency for the NFL, for the 2025 season officially began. This allows all teams to contact and negotiate with players who will be released from their contracts with their previous clubs.
It is also the period of renovations and exchanges, like the one that sent Geno Smith from the Seahawks to the Raiders, to reunite with his former coach Pete Carroll.
In turn, Seattle took advantage of the fact that the Vikings released Sam Darnold to sign him as their starting quarterback for three years and 100.5 million dollars.
The second part of free agency will be on Wednesday, March 12th at 4 pm in New York, when the 2025 NFL season officially begins and all contracts and transfers can be finalized.
