They say there is no offseason in the NFL, and based on the activity we’ve already seen before free agency actually began, that statement is accurate. The action really picked up when free agency kicked off on Monday, at least the negotiation period for teams and players. The signings became official at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 15, the start of the league’s new year. Heading into the 2023 season, there are plenty of big-name players to watch as they decide their next moves as teams also work to improve their rosters… or cut their salaries to drop below the cap.
One of the biggest questions heading into the 2023 season was answered Wednesday, at least it was somehow answered, when Aaron Rodgers said his “intention” is to play for the New York Jets. The exchange is not finalized.
Another major question is where Lamar Jackson will end up. Jackson received a non-exclusive franchise tag from the Baltimore Ravens, which means he can negotiate with other teams interested in the star quarterback, but the Ravens can match any offer.
From blockbuster moves to bargain buys, below we’ve got a running track of each team’s additions in 2023, including outside signings and business acquisitions:
