NFL free agency for the 2022 season is here, and if the week leading up to the event is any indication, things could get crazy quickly as the new league year begins.
In the week leading up to free agency, NFL teams agreed to four trades involving big-name players. Russell Wilson, Carson Wentz, Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper were traded in that order over a five-day span.
LIVE: Grades for every signing, trade during 2022 NFL free agency
The trade market has cooled off a bit since those deals were struck. However, quarterbacks like Deshaun Watson and Jimmy Garoppolo still available, so we will surely see some more trades as NFL free agency gets underway.
Of course, there's also the free agent part of free agency. There isn't a Tom Brady-type prize this offseason — well, there wasn't until he came back, at least — but there are plenty of quality playmakers available at receiver, on defense and along the offensive line. JC Jackson, Von Miller, Allen Robinson and Tyrann Mathieu highlight the most recognizable names on the market, but there is plenty of talent among the top 50 available free agents.

The NFL's so-called legal tampering period begins at noon ET on Monday, March 14. At that point, we will start to see deals come together as teams tackle the next phase in roster building.
Sporting News will be tracking all of the notable NFL free agent signings and trades during the 2022 NFL offseason.

11:26 a.m. — The first major domino of the 2022 NFL offseason falls, as Aaron Rodgers agrees to an extension with the Packers. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports it will make Rodgers the highest paid player in the NFL based on average annual value.
The #Packers and MVP QB Aaron Rodgers have agreed to terms on a 4-year, $200M deal that makes him the highest paid player in NFL history, sources say. He gets a whopping $153M guaranteed and his cap number goes down. A monstrous commitment by GB for years to come. 💰 💰 💰

NFL free agency rumors, trade rumors

From Free Agency Frenzy: The #Saints and #Panthers have offers out on Deshaun Watson, who wants to meet with any serious suitors. pic.twitter.com/mn5y5ezIUo

Deshaun Watson's trade market is heating up after a grand jury elected not to indict the embattled Texans quarterback on nine criminal complaints of sexual harassment and misconduct. The Panthers have been interested in Watson since he first became available while the Saints would have to clear a lot of cap space to afford him.

The Bills are in the market for a tight end to pair with Dawson Knox. Dan Duggan reports that they are a "top suitor" for Evan Engram, who has averaged 69 catches, 740 yards and four touchdowns per 17 games played during his career. And no quarterback he has played with is nearly as good as Josh Allen.
Patriots eying receivers including Allen Robinson, Robby Anderson
Date: March 9
Source: Mike Giardi, NFL Network
The #Patriots have done what one source described to me as "excessive" work on a variety of vet WRs available either in free agency (yes, including Allen Robinson) and those who might be available via trade (Robby Anderson, as first reported by @GregABedard). (1/2)
— Mike Giardi (@MikeGiardi) March 9, 2022
The Patriots have a couple of good receivers in Kendrick Bourne and Jakobi Meyers, but they need to add a true No. 1-type receiver and depth to their wide-out room. They are reportedly doing a lot of work on free-agent receivers including Allen Robinson. They also are considering a trade for Robby Anderson, which would make Nelson Agholor expendable.
Eric Fisher won't re-sign with the Colts
Date: March 9

Pro-Bowl left tackle Eric Fisher is not expected to resign with the Colts despite the fact that the two sides have spent recent weeks trying to strike a new deal, per sources. Fisher now is poised to hit free agency next week.

Eric Fisher was signed by the Colts during the 2021 offseason to replace Anthony Castonzo after their veteran offensive lineman retired. Now, the former Pro Bowler will move on to his third team in as many years while the Colts search for a replacement.
Bengals, 49ers interested in Patriots' J.C. Jackson
Date: March 8

#Pats FA corner J.C. Jackson -- who’s still just 26 -- will set the market in a big way. Sources say the #Bengals, #Chargers, #Niners and #Dolphins will all have legitimate interest in the All-Pro, among others. @MR_INT
— Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) March 8, 2022
The Patriots aren't expected to keep J.C. Jackson, who has 25 career interceptions in four years since going undrafted out of Maryland. The Bengals, who need an upgrade over Eli Apple, and 49ers, who need a true No. 1 corner, are among the teams interested in him along with the Dolphins and Chargers.
Von Miller has suitors including Rams, Broncos
Date: March 6
Source: Aaron Wilson, Pro Football Network
Von Miller is drawing plenty of interest during his first trip to the unrestricted free agent market. Miller is drawing interest from the Broncos, Rams and Packers, among others. The Chargers were reportedly interested in Miller as well, but they probably won't pursue him after trading for Khalil Mack.
Mitchell Trubisky "creating a lot of buzz" ahead of free agency
Date: March 3
Source: Tony Pauline, Pro Football Network
The 2022 NFL quarterback market is fairly weak, and there are more QB-needy teams that there are viable starters out there. That's part of why Trubisky is getting buzz, and per Pauline, teams are planning to sign Trubisky with "the expectation he’ll compete for a starting spot." The Steelers, Colts and Giants have all been mentioned in connection with Trubisky.
