The Monday following the conclusion of the season is always an important day on the NFL calendar whether you’re a team that’s out of the playoff race or still in it.
Not only are teams permitted to begin signing free agents to reserve/future contracts, but they can also start signing some of their own players on contract extensions. Starting on Monday, Jan. 9, the Kansas City Chiefs and teams across the league are now permitted to renegotiate or extend the rookie contract of a drafted rookie who was selected in any round of the 2020 NFL draft. Undrafted rookies who signed in 2021 are also now eligible for contract extensions.
