With the calendar turning over to February today, it means that the only meaningful NFL game for months is this weekend, and that it’s only a matter of weeks until the start of free agency. Specifically, just 44 days from Saturday the legal tampering period begins for Unrestricted Free Agents, and rumors and reports of deals are likely to start leaking quickly after it begins.
With offensive line play in the NFL having suffered for multiple reasons in recent seasons, the position group has seen demand in free agency increase greatly, and that has led to a rapid increase in salaries in recent seasons.
