When can NFL teams sign free agents in 2025? Full schedule, best available players and more 

Although the NFL offseason has officially begun, teams are not yet eligible to make major roster adjustments to their 90-man rosters.

Many NFL teams will be up and running in one way or another when the new league year starts in a few days. Teams that have a lot of cap room will subsequently have the most purchasing power and look to bolster their lineups with elite free agents like quarterback Sam Darnold, running back Aaron Jones and wideout Tee Higgins.

Here's a closer look at the 2025 free agency schedule and the top players currently available.

When will the NFL free agency start in 2025?

There are over 750 impending free agents this offseason, according to Spotrac.com, and they can all sign new contracts with any team ahead of the 2025 season. However, those players must remain patient for a few more days before they are eligible to sign new contracts with other teams, even though the 2024 season has already finished.

The new league year, which starts on Wednesday, March 12 at 4:00 p.m. ET, is when NFL free agency officially begins.

This year's free agent class features players like Chris Godwin, Tee Higgins Ronnie Stanley and Trey Smith. It will be interesting to see which players switch teams in the coming month.

It's safe to assume that as front offices get ready to bolster their rosters for the 2025 campaign, they will be making important personnel changes in the days and weeks ahead.
