NFL Free Agency Kicks Off with Blockbuster Trades and Franchise Tags
The NFL free agency period is about to begin, but teams are already making significant moves. The Chicago Bears traded wide receiver DJ Moore to the Buffalo Bills for a second-round pick and a fifth-rounder. The Las Vegas Raiders are releasing quarterback Geno Smith, freeing up cap space but incurring dead money.
Other notable trades include Houston acquiring running back David Montgomery from Detroit and sending right tackle Tytus Howard to Cleveland. Kansas City dealt cornerback Trent McDuffie to the Los Angeles Rams for a first-round pick and additional draft capital.
Franchise tags have also been applied, landing on Atlanta tight end Kyle Pitts, Dallas wide receiver George Pickens, New York Jets running back Breece Hall, and Indianapolis quarterback Daniel Jones. Expect releases of veterans like New England wide receiver Stefon Diggs and Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray to clear cap room.
With legal tampering starting March 9th and free agency beginning March 12th, this week promises to be wild as teams position themselves for the market.
