It's here: the NFL has opened its free-agent negotiating window with the legal tampering period starting Monday, March 10, at Noon ET/11 a.m. CT. Deals can be agreed to, but nothing can be signed and made official until the new league starts on Wednesday, March 12, at 4 p.m. ET/3 p.m. CT.

11:45 a.m.: The Broncos made their re-signing of backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham official. It’s a two-year deal worth up to $12 million (with $7 million guaranteed), a slight pay raise from a $10 million deal he signed to come to Denver in 2023. He looked quite cheery in a Twitter photo posted by the Broncos.
