Free Agent Deals Can’t Be Official Even as NFL Year Begins

Free agent contracts and trades agreed upon in recent days or weeks won't become official even as the NFL's league year has begun.

That also means free agents involved won't be getting paid until those deals are signed and physicals are taken.

The NFL has barred travel to team facilities by free agents and also has banned team personnel from traveling to meet with players as a safeguard against the new coronavirus.
