The NFL free agency frenzy has officially begun, with some major moves already shaking up the league. One of the biggest signings so far is quarterback Russell Wilson agreeing to a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Wilson wasted no time negotiating a new contract after being released by the Denver Broncos just last week, according to league sources.
The legal tampering window opened on Monday, allowing teams to start negotiating with free agents before the new league year officially begins on Wednesday. Several teams have wasted no time in making big moves to improve their rosters.
The Houston Texans have made a splash by signing defensive end Danielle Hunter to a lucrative two-year, $49 million deal. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns have secured the services of edge rusher Za’Darius Smith to bolster their defense.
The Philadelphia Eagles have added a big name to their backfield, signing running back Saquon Barkley to a three-year, $46.75 million contract. The Atlanta Falcons have also made a significant move by bringing in quarterback Kirk Cousins on a massive four-year, $180 million deal.
The free agency market is buzzing with activity as teams look to strengthen their rosters ahead of the upcoming season. With top free agents still available, there are sure to be more blockbuster deals in the coming days. Stay tuned to the McCreary County Record for all the latest NFL free agency news and updates.
