Let the new league year officially begin!

The 2024 NFL season is about to get underway, as the legal tampering period is winding down and the official start of the new league year is upon us. The legal tampering period kicked off at noon on March 11th, and is when unrestricted free agents can begin to negotiate and agree to terms on new contracts. Those contracts can then be signed when the 2024 league year kicks off at 4 PM ET today.

After a busy day on Monday and Tuesday, signings will continue on Wednesday. As long as the action stays hot, be sure to continue to check in to this article (there will be a new on each day) as we will update the major news surrounding free agents and where these players will be landing for 2024.

Editorial Note: We will always add the latest news at the bottom of the stream. Also, if there get to be too many posts which keep the article from loading, older posts will be removed.

In the meantime, be sure to keep tabs on SCN for the latest news and notes surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers as they prepare not just for free agency, but the 2024 NFL Draft.
