NFL Free Agency kicked off last Tuesday at 4:00 pm, and what a week it has been. The signings came fast and furious, and it was hard for anyone to keep up. Luckily we’ve compiled all the signings in our trackers:
Our Day One Tracker is available here.
Our Day Two Tracker is available here.
Our Day Three Tracker is available here.
Our Day Four Tracker is available here.
Our Day Five Tracker is available here.
Our Day Six and Seven Tracker is available here.
We’ll be doing the same today for Day 8 so stay tuned, and check back often for the latest in signings, trades, and releases as there are still plenty of big name moves to be made on NFL Free Agency Day 8. This will likely be our last tracker as things should slow down a bit now. Don’t worry though, LWOS will still bring you the news of major signings as they happen.
