NFL free agency tracker: Each team's notable departing free agents, signings, trades as league's new year approaches

The legal tampering period for the start of NFL free agency got underway Monday, and a massive amount of deals have been agreed to in the lead-up to the official start of free agency on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET.

This could be one of the best quarterback free agency classes in recent years, with Geno Smith (traded to Jets), Tua Tagovailoa (signing with Falcons) and Malik Willis (signing with Dolphins) all landing on new teams already. But Kyler Murray and Aaron Rodgers are still undeclared. This also looks to be a deep running back class, with Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III (Chiefs) and Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (Saints) quickly finding new homes.

Travis Kelce, Alec Pierce, Stefon Diggs, Cameron Jordan, Tyler Linderbaum, Trey Hendrickson and Mike Evans were the big names entering the open market.
