The Start of Free Agency
The NFL free agency contact period begins at noon on Monday, marking the onset of a dynamic phase where team rosters take shape through strategic signings and re-signings. This phase offers teams the opportunity to reinforce key positions and pursue talents who can make an immediate impact.
Eagles Secure Avery Williams
The Philadelphia Eagles have finalized a one-year deal with return specialist Avery Williams. Joining the Eagles’ special teams unit, Williams is set to enhance the team’s kick and punt return capabilities with his versatility and playmaking skills.
Falcons Reinforce Offensive Line
Atlanta has bolstered its offensive line by re-signing reserve offensive tackle Storm Norton. Norton has provided dependable support when stepping in at right tackle during critical moments, ensuring stability in the offensive front. His continued presence offers depth and reassurance as the team adjusts its lineup.
Veteran Leadership Returns
In a series of strategic moves, the Falcons have secured the services of three experienced free agents. Offensive linemen Eli Wilkinson and Kyle Hinton, along with linebacker Josh Woods, have been re-signed to continue contributing to the team’s on-field success. Wilkinson, who started several games last season at left guard, had a prominent role before the team shifted focus with its draft choices. Hinton’s participation over the past two seasons has been marked by consistent appearances on special teams, while Woods brings a wealth of experience from a six-year career that includes valuable stints with multiple teams. His time with the team has been characterized by steady performance and reliability, qualities that will be crucial as the season unfolds.
