Wednesday marks exactly four weeks until the official start of the 2023 NFL League Year, with teams able to officially sign free agents from other teams to new contracts beginning at 4:00 pm New York time on March 15. In the meantime, teams will be working to extend their own free agents, while also looking to make the moves necessary to both comply with the 2023 salary cap and remove dead weight from the roster.

The process of roster trimming for salary cap purposes started Tuesday, with the Las Vegas Raiders releasing quarterback Derek Carr and the Cleveland Browns moving on from linebacker Jordan Kunaszyk.
