NFL Free Agency: Allen Signs, Kirk Traded

As the NFL free agency period commences, notable player movements and contract extensions have been reported across the league. Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills secured a record-setting six-year extension, while the Jaguars traded Christian Kirk to the Texans, signaling a rebuilding phase under new management. The Steelers made a splash by acquiring DK Metcalf from the Seahawks, bolstering their receiving corps alongside George Pickens, although the quarterback situation remains uncertain. Meanwhile, the Raiders re-signed key defensive players, aiming to strengthen their roster. Among other significant transactions, the Dolphins released several veterans to manage cap space and the Jaguars focused on improving their pass defense with the signing of Lewis. The legal tampering period allows teams like the Cowboys and Washington to negotiate with free agents ahead of Wednesday, when deals become official.
