The NFL’s new year *officially* kicked off today — that didn’t necessarily stop players and teams from making the sports world go crazy with verbal agreements and abundant rumors at the end of last week and throughout last weekend.

This chaotic period is now referred to as the “Legal Tampering Window” and it has solicited some excellent responses:

How dare a player reconsider a decision he wasn't technically allowed to make in something called a legal tampering window! #StateOfNFL

In today’s NFL world, no longer are players waiting until the day Free Agency starts to be wowed. Instead, players are secretly plotting their getaways weeks, possibly months in advance. By the time the official date actually gets here, players have already agreed to their next destination — if they so choose to leave their old situations.

Below is a list of the major notable NFL players that have switched teams — or have agreed to switch teams — so far in Free Agency:

Ryan Mathews
Old Place: San Diego Chargers
New Place: Philadelphia Eagles

Other Rumors:

Now we know why DeMarco Murray has deleted Cowboys' references on his Twitter account: team has not called him since last week, per source.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 10, 2015

If DeMarco Murray doesn’t hear from #Cowboys by 4 p.m., teams in the mix: #Cardinals, #Jaguars, maybe #Bucs.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 10, 2015

DeMarco Murray and his agent have had minimal contact with the Dallas Cowboys in the last few days. Murray has been expected to leave the organization, although the Cowboys would like to re-sign him. The Buccaneers and Jaguars are two teams interested in the star runningback.

Per source, both ex-Texan Andre Johnson and ex-49er Frank Gore are traveling to Indianapolis today to meet with the Colts.

— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) March 10, 2015

According to Albert Breer, the Indianapolis Colts are pursuing former Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson and former San Francisco runningback Frank gore hard. (Johnson to presumably replace Reggie Wayne’s production)

A source indicated after Darnell Dockett's release that the #AZCardinals were clearing cap space to make a run at RB Adrian Peterson.

— Rand Getlin (@Rand_Getlin) March 8, 2015

According to Rand Getlin, the Cardinals are looking to make a run at Adrian Peterson.

#49ers interested in #Panthers DE Greg Hardy? http://t.co/lnz1UlmkJk

— FanSided (@FanSided) March 10, 2015

The San Francisco 49ers — who have already lost Justin Smith, Ray McDonald, Patrick Willis and (what seems like) their entire secondary in the last two seasons — have serious interest in former Carolina Panther defensive end and recently available, Greg Hardy.
