NFL free agency next opens with the negotiating window on Tuesday, March 9, 2027, and the 2027 league year and signing period begin at 4 p.m. ET on Thursday, March 11, according to the NFL. The gap between the Scouting Combine, which ends March 8, and free agency shrinks from a full week in 2026 to one day.
No next-team markets are posted for 2027 yet, so this page names no price. It keeps the 2026 moves this page followed as the record and takes the 2027 board when it opens.
How NFL free agency works
When a player’s contract runs out, he becomes a free agent at the start of the new league year. During the negotiating window, clubs can talk to the agents of players who are about to become unrestricted free agents, but no contract can be signed until the league year opens.
Next-team props are the usual free agency bet: a price on each team a player might sign with, settled when he signs. A retirement can be its own line on the board, as it was for Rodgers in 2026, when “Retire / No NFL Team” was the favorite at +165, so read how the market settles before you bet it.
Where the 2026 free agents landed
ESPN’s player records, read on September 25, 2026, show where each player on this page is now:
| Player | 2026 team |
|---|---|
| Aaron Rodgers | Pittsburgh Steelers |
| A.J. Brown | New England Patriots |
| Stefon Diggs | Washington Commanders |
| Kyler Murray | Minnesota Vikings |
| Kenneth Walker III | Kansas City Chiefs |
| Malik Willis | Miami Dolphins |
| Travis Kelce | Kansas City Chiefs |
| Tyreek Hill | Free agent, no team |
All but Hill have played for those teams in 2026. Hill is listed as a free agent and has not played a game this season.
What this page called in 2026
| Bet, as published | Result |
|---|---|
| Aaron Rodgers next team: Pittsburgh Steelers (+235) | Won |
| A.J. Brown next team: Philadelphia Eagles (-175) | Lost: he is with New England |
| Malik Willis next team: Miami Dolphins (+250) | Won |
| Tyreek Hill next team: Los Angeles Chargers (+800) | Not settled: Hill is still unsigned |
The page made no bet on Stefon Diggs, Kyler Murray, Kenneth Walker III or Travis Kelce. A +235 price implied 29.9% and +250, 28.6%, so both winning calls were underdogs; the -175 on Brown implied 63.6%.
