The NFL free agency period for 2025 will begin on March 18th, 2025, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time. During this period, all NFL teams will be able to negotiate and sign contracts with unrestricted free agents, who are players whose contracts with their previous teams have expired. This year’s free agency class is expected to be one of the deepest and most talented in recent memory, with a number of high-profile players set to hit the open market.
One of the most important aspects of NFL free agency is the opportunity for teams to improve their rosters by adding talented players who can help them compete for a championship. In recent years, several teams have made significant improvements through free agency, such as the Los Angeles Rams in 2022 and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020. Free agency can also be a time for players to find new homes and revitalize their careers, as was the case with Tom Brady in 2020 and Odell Beckham Jr. in 2022.
