The free agent frenzy is underway in the NFL, as teams have been working on deals with unrestricted free agents for the last two days during the league’s legal tampering period, which runs through 3:59 p.m. EDT today.

Then, at 4 p.m. EDT, free agent signings and trades can become official and contracts can be signed with the start of the 2026 league year.

The Buffalo Bills have been relatively quiet so far in the first two unofficial days of free agency, working out a contract extension with veteran tight end Dawson Knox, bringing in cornerback Dee Alford, and re-signing punter Mitch Wishnowsky and bringing back backup quarterback Kyle Allen.

Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by discussing the key news and moves Bills fans should know about from the last 48 hours leading up to the official start of the league year.
