We will also go over the current NFL Salary Cap situation for all 32 teams, showing which teams still need to work to get under the cap and which teams will have the most money to spend during NFL Free Agency.

January 5, 2026When Does NFL Free Agency Start 2022
Many are asking when does NFL Free Agency start in 2022? It makes sense, as this is when the most action will begin to take place. The 2022 NFL Free Agents will be able to talk with teams around the league. With the salary cap up this NFL Offseason after a crazy year, we will likely see a lot of NFL Free Agency movement.
2022 NFL Free Agency officially begins at 4 p.m. EST on March 16th, which is the start of the new league year. However, the legal tampering period begins on March 14th, which means free agents will be able to begin speaking with teams. Due to this, March 14th is when we will begin hearing NFL Free Agency leaks from insiders.
Now tagged by the #Chiefs at a projected $16.5M, OT Orlando Brown Jr. currently projects to a 5 year, $116.5M extension in our system, a contract that would make him the highest average paid OL in history.https://t.co/iXVumo4sQK
