Wed Mar 12 14:00:00 UTC 2025: ## NFL Free Agency Frenzy Begins: Rodgers, Wilson Headline a Busy Opening Day

**March 12, 2024** – The NFL’s new league year kicked off today at 4 p.m. ET, unleashing a wave of free agent signings and trades. While the legal tampering period saw several preliminary agreements, the official flurry of activity began with the opening of the new league year. Quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson remain the top two free agents to watch, with their destinations expected to be announced imminently.

Several other quarterbacks have already found new homes, including Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones. Wide receivers Amari Cooper and Stefon Diggs also signed, strengthening their new teams’ receiving corps. On the defensive side, Joey Bosa is headed to the Buffalo Bills on a one-year deal, while Justin Reid joins the New Orleans Saints.

Among notable signings already announced are:

* **Devin White:** The linebacker is returning to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a one-year, $3.5 million deal, marking his third consecutive one-year contract with the team.
* **Damar Hamlin:** The Buffalo Bills safety is extending his stay with a one-year contract (value undisclosed).
* **Van Jefferson:** The wide receiver signed a one-year, $2.5 million deal with the Tennessee Titans.
* **Tanner Dodson:** The linebacker agreed to a two-year, $8.25 million deal with the Miami Dolphins.
* **Larry Ogunjobi:** The defensive tackle signed a one-year, $8.3 million contract (with incentives potentially reaching $10 million) with an undisclosed team.

The Kansas City Chiefs created significant cap space by restructuring contracts, paving the way for the signings of Kristian Fulton, Elijah Mitchell, and Jaylon Moore.

Meanwhile, rumors of Joey Bosa joining the San Francisco 49ers proved false; he instead signed a one-year, $12.6 million contract with the Buffalo Bills.
