The legal tampering period for the start of NFL free agency got underway Monday. There will be a 52-hour window where pending free agents can negotiate with new teams before the official start of the league\u2019s new year officially hits on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n
This could be one of the best quarterback free agency classes in recent years, highlighted by the recent releases of Kyler Murray, Geno Smith and Tua Tagovailoa, along with Aaron Rodgers and Malik Willis. This also looks to be a deep running back class led by Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III and Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr.<\/p>\n
