The Seattle Seahawks were crowned as Super Bowl LX champions just a month ago, and now the rest of the NFL is focused on reshaping rosters to catch them in 2026. That starts with free agency, as the tampering period is officially open before teams can officially sign free agents to new deals on Wednesday.

Day one was a wild one, as Mike Evans is off to the 49ers, Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III signed with the Chiefs, and Jaelan Phillips got a massive deal from the Panthers. Alec Pierce is back in Indianapolis as the highest-paid free-agent wideout ever, while Michael Pittman Jr. is off to the Steelers in a trade. Malik Willis is following Jeff Hafley to Miami, and Tyler Linderbaum is now the highest-paid interior lineman in the NFL after an $81 million contract with the Raiders.

On the re-signing front, Travis Kelce is heading back to the Chiefs for his 14th season, and the Seahawks brought back Rashid Shaheed.

Things slowed down a bit after day one, but there was still plenty of action to go around. Kyler Murray is headed to the Minnesota Vikings to compete with JJ McCarthy for the starting job. Romeo Doubs is also headed to New England to be Drake Maye's new WR1 with Stefon Diggs out the door.

The trade market was very active in the lead-up to free agency, most notably with superstar pass rusher Maxx Crosby going to the Baltimore Ravens for two first-round picks … until the Ravens went back on the trade and signed Trey Hendrickson instead. The Kansas City Chiefs have traded star cornerback Trent McDuffie to the Los Angeles Rams for heavy draft capital as well. Elsewhere in the league, DJ Moore was traded to the Buffalo Bills, and David Montgomery was sent to the Houston Texans.

Follow along with ClutchPoints as we track everything that goes down during the first week of what should be a wild free agency period in the NFL.
