The official start of the 2022 NFL League Year Wednesday at 4 PM New York Time marked the time when players who had agreed to terms on contracts with teams during the legal tampering period could officially execute those contracts. In addition, the start of the new league year also marks the deadline for teams to extend contract tenders to exclusive rights free agents and restricted free agents or see those players become unrestricted free agents.
Reports emerged several days ago that the Seattle Seahawks had extended an original round tender to RFA offensive lineman Phil Haynes, but the Hawks had a total of three RFAs on which decisions were required this offseason.
