NFL Free Agency

NFL News/Free Agency Tracker 2022: Who is changing teams on Day 2?

Moves are happening around the league

By Scott Jennings@ScottJenningsHH Mar 15, 2022, 9:00am EDT

NFL: Green Bay Packers at New Orleans Saints

The salary cap has officially been set at $208.2 million for the 2021 season. The NFL’s legal tampering period started yesterday at 12 pm. The new league year starts tomorrow at 4pm. The NFL saw a lot of movement with some of the top free agents finding new homes. These deals have been in the works at least since the Combine, but can now be made public. They won't be official until the start of the new league year tomorrow.

Washington signed a few of their pending free agents before they hit the market. The rest will test the market, possibly re-signing here if they don't get the deal they are looking for in free agency. Washington already lost two of their top free agents. Brandon Scherff signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tim Settle is joining the Buffalo Bills.

Here are the deals and trades that have been announced around the NFL on Day 2. Will Washington make any moves before free agency officially starts?

Bears sign Packers OL Lucas Patrick

Two-year, $8 million deal with $4 million fully guaranteed in Year 1 for Lucas Patrick to stay in the NFC North. https://t.co/1x1xIXIvfz

Saints sign Jets S Marcus Maye

Maye suffered an Achilles injury while playing on the franchise tag. Wondered if perhaps he'd take a short contract for good money, and if so, perhaps Washington gets involved. Instead, Maye gets $28 million with $15 mil gtd, per @TomPelissero. https://t.co/kmv2pOjmWT

Randy Gregory signs with the Broncos after reports he was re-signing with the Cowboys

And… there we go. Randy Gregory done to the #Broncos. Our first free agency plot twist. https://t.co/pNvCAYFHPM
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 15, 2022

And so it’s the #Broncos — not the #Cowboys — that are in agreement with Randy Gregory. My understanding is Dallas insisted on contract language that Gregory did not like protecting themselves. So he heads to Denver.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 15, 2022

Same deal for Randy Gregory with the #Broncos as he was to sign with the #Cowboys, source says. Five years, $70 million. https://t.co/GhyC2hAQBX
