So what happens tonight shouldn't be all that different than what went on in Indianapolis. Lots of talk, no deals allowed.
March 8, 2013With teams allowed to speak to agents of prospective free agents at midnight, NFL sent a memo to all 32 teams reminding them that no agreements are allowed. The league's memo to all teams read, in part: "Clubs are advised that prior to the beginning of the new League Year it is impermissible for a club to enter into an agreement of any kind, express or implied, oral or written, or promises, undertakings, representations, commitments, inducements, assurances of intent or understandings of any kind concerning the terms or conditions of employment offered to, or to be offered to, any prospective Unrestricted Free Agent for inclusion in a Player Contract after the start of the new League Year. Any announcement of an agreement or an agreement in principle by a club or another party, including, but not limited to, a certified agent, player, or media organization may subject the club to a tampering investigation." In other words, free agency will not begin until Tuesday at 4 pm ET, even if talks are allowed tonight.
