In case you’re not on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, the NFL’s new calendar year officially started late Wednesday afternoon.
If you’re active on X, then you definitely know that because every NFL reporter was wishing you a Happy New Year on your timeline. That was the most excitement in the NFL for the “new year”—until Calvin Ridley signed with the Tennessee Titans—because most notable free agents had already agreed to terms with their respective teams during the league’s legal tampering period, from Monday to Tuesday.
Maybe one day the NFL will stop with this nonsense of “legal tampering” and just call it free agency. No need to wait two days and make everyone suffer with “Happy New Year” tweets on a Wednesday in March.
