Teams can begin negotiating March 13th (less than 2 weeks) and signing unrestricted FA's March 15th. It's always football season.
Top 100 FA's:
https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/02/27/nfl-top-100-2023-free-agents-lamar-jackson-derek-carr-geno-smith-top-the-list/
14 LB's on the list
11 CB's on the list
5 G's on the list
9 OT's on the list
Not all of them will remain on there. For example, Payne is on here, but he's been franchised.
Would be nice to pluck 1 or 2 guys from this list.

I wouldn't mind bringing Orlando Brown Jr. Move Leno to RT and move Cosmi to guard. You can still draft a young tackle.

I'd suggest picking up 2 OL, 1 or even 2 LB and a CB off that list would be great and enable mostly BPA drafting (or trading down). If I had to choose, I'd like to get:
McGlinchey - solid RT and draft LT (and/or see if Cosmi can fit the bill as I believe was originally planned). I'd try and pick up a G or C too.
Wagner - and re-sign Holcomb. With Davis that would be a great 3some to cover the 2 LB positions
Bradberry or Jones @ CB - we still need to draft a CB, but either of these guys should be able to plug straight in opposite Fuller.
I'd also look at Gesicki as I think Bieniemy could get good production out of him in a similar vein to Kelce.

Can't imagine they will be very active in the free agent market with everything going on behind the scenes, especially with any high dollar free agents. I mean how do you conduct business as usual when you're selling the team first, and second...we're talking about Dan Snyder...so absolutely no way to predict anything when it comes to his decision making.

Wagner will likely be looking for a SB contender team like the Chiefs, Iggles, or Bills.

I think the timing of the franchise tag on Payne (a quick decision instead of further negotiations) is an indicator of the Redskins ability to sign free agents. I think it is becoming apparent that the franchise has a cash flow problem that won't be resolved until the team is sold. I think they were working under the premise that they couldn't afford the bonus that any long term deal with Payne would entail, so they just went ahead and immediately franchised him. If I'm right about this, one shouldn't expect the Skins to be players in free agency.

This isn’t the first time a team has been sold. I don’t think that free agency will be affected.

The Broncos made a major move to get Russell Wilson in the middle of the team changing ownership. I'm sure free agency will run as usual, with hopefully little to no input from Snyder.

Talking billions of dollars changing hands. How does a player’s salary even matter?
No input from Snyder has such a nice ring to it.
Sounds like Dan has some very real cash flow problems, and since future guaranteed money needs to be put into escrow up front this could definitely impact free agency.
