NFL free agency officially begins at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday, with the start of the new league year, but teams can now negotiate and agree to terms with players.

And the franchise/transition tag deadline passed with four players receiving one: Cowboys WR George Pickens, Falcons TE Kyle Pitts Sr., Jets RB Breece Hall and Colts QB Daniel Jones (transition tag).
Which teams could be interested in quarterbacks Malik Willis and Kyler Murray? What’s the latest on edge rusher Trey Hendrickson and running back Kenneth Walker III? And which big-name players are available as trade candidates?
