When NFL free agency officially begins with the start of the new league year at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 9, it will come after days of speculation and rumors about each player's landing spot.
A legal tampering period, introduced in 2013, allows teams a three-day period of reaching out to players to express interest and "submit a negotiating position," although no contract offer can officially be made. This led to some controversy during the 2015 offseason and an investigation into the Miami Dolphins' pursuit of defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, but the league found that the team didn't break any rules.
For some players, like former Los Angeles Rams defensive end Chris Long and New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie, free agency began immediately after being released. But for players with expiring contracts, they aren't officially on the market until the new league year ticks the last day off their contract.
The tampering period has created more whispers and rumors leading up to the beginning of free agency and then an explosion of news when teams can officially sign players. We'll be keeping track of all the whispering here.
For the free agent signings, we're keeping tabs on the top 100 free agents on the market. From the rumor mill:
Linebacker Bruce Carter is visiting the Jets on Wednesday, per NFL Media's Ian Rapoport. Carter played his first five seasons in Tampa Bay and Dallas.
