Fans eagerly awaiting the official start to 2024 NFL free agency can tune into the high drama on their televisions soon.
With the NFL about to kick off its highly anticipated negotiation period, viewers can watch everything unfold from official contract signings to surprise trades effective Monday. Let’s take a look at how you can watch the NFL’s coverage of “Free Agency Frenzy.”
How To Watch NFL Free Agency
- Monday, March 11: 11 a.m. ET
- Tuesday, March 12: 11 a.m. ET
- Wednesday, March 13: 11 a.m. ET
- Thursday, March 14: 10 a.m. ET
The NFL Network is the home of “Free Agency Frenzy.”
While the league’s signing period doesn’t officially go into effect until Wednesday, the coverage starts Monday due to the league’s legal tampering period. The network will address all news and rumors occurring on Monday.
But from Monday to Wednesday, coverage of free agency will start at the same time of 11 a.m. ET. Thursday presents fans with a free agent-focused version of “The Insiders” featuring Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero, and Mike Garafolo.
Meanwhile, the network’s flagship program, Good Morning Football, will help preview the upcoming Free Agency Frenzy starting at 7 a.m. ET each day from Monday to Wednesday.
There are streaming options for fans who are unable to get the NFL Network via their local cable provider.
The NFL Network’s streaming service NFL+ will provide additional coverage of Free Agency Frenzy. NFL+ is planning to have former NFL general manager Scott Pioli host a new show called “Roster Roadmaps,” set to debut Tuesday.
Elsewhere, FuboTV is the final streaming option for fans to watch NFL Network’s coverage of 2024 free agency. The service offers a free seven-day trial before plans that range up to $100 per month apply.
Who Will Help Discuss 2024 Free Agency?
The network will have a deep panel of analysts sharing their take on the ’24 free agency news.
Names like former NFL players Maurice Jones-Drew, Brian Baldinger, Shaun O’Hara, and Bucky Brooks are scheduled to join the list of reporters and fantasy experts. For Jones-Drew and Baldinger, they’re familiar with the free agency period as former players who once sought a new NFL address during their careers.
Outside of past NFL players, the network will have a team of reporters providing the latest reports across the league as the news roll in.
What Will Likely Be the 2024 Free Agency Topics?
There’s already been movement across the free agency landscape ahead of the 2024 league year.
It’s anticipated that Russell Wilson and his next destination will be a widely debated topic. The nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback, plus 2013 season Super Bowl champion, is searching for his next team after the Denver Broncos revealed their intentions to release him.
Other than Wilson, contracts will be an anticipated major topic of discussion. Baker Mayfield and the blockbuster $100 million deal he signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is more than likely to be discussed and dissected during NFL Network programming. The same holds true for Jaylon Johnson, as the Chicago Bears cornerback has a $76 million contract that becomes official on Wednesday.
Which Free Agents Have Yet To Sign a Deal or Tag?
But while Mayfield’s and Johnson’s new deals take effect Wednesday, names like wide receiver Calvin Ridley and running back Saquon Barkley remain without a new deal from their current teams and are also free of the franchise tag.
And, both are in the top 30 among PFN’s Free Agent 2024 rankings ahead of Monday. Ridley and Barkley are helping spearhead the intrigue of this year’s free agency period.

Elsewhere, PFN’s No. 1-ranked free agent Kirk Cousins is expected to announce his future intentions on Monday. Cousins, the four-time Pro Bowl quarterback, could still be in the mix to return to the Minnesota Vikings. On the defensive side, EDGE defenders Danielle Hunter and Chase Young are two of the more noteworthy defensive players whose status for 2024 will also be revealed during “Free Agency Frenzy.”
