The NFL has updated its offseason calendar for the 2027 season. The free agent negotiating window will begin on March 9, 2027, immediately following the Scouting Combine's conclusion on March 8. This change reduces the gap between the two significant events, allowing teams and agents to engage more closely. The aim is to facilitate early negotiations while teams evaluate prospective talent during the Combine in Indianapolis.
