2025 NFL free agency tracker: Chiefs re-sign LB Bolton; Lions cut DE Smith

NFL free agency is on the horizon.

It doesn’t officially open until March 10, when the legal tampering window — a two-day period prior to the start of the new league year — opens at noon ET. Free agents can’t officially sign with new teams until March 12 at 4 p.m. ET.

Players on the open market can also agree to new deals with the teams they’re currently on before then. A few have already done so, while others are waiting to see if they’ll be placed on the franchise tag, which would make their free agency difficult.

Here’s a look at which players have already inked new deals and the best free agents available, via FOX Sports’ 2025 NFL free agent top 100 rankings.
