Every NFL free agency signing and completed trade as Las Vegas Raiders sign QB star

The NFL's free agency is now unofficially underway with teams being able to speak to players and agree deals ahead of the signing window opening officially on Wednesday.

This gives teams and players 48 hours to get a feel for their market, with the two days being named as the 'legal tampering' period. Then, on March 15, those players will be permitted to officially signing on the dotted line. This year will see a number of big players hit the market, including starting quarterbacks, five key starting players from this past Super Bowl become, and multiple championship winners.

And while he is not on the market himself, the biggest name to watch is Aaron Rodgers, who had expected to have been traded to the New York Jets by now, but no deal has yet gone through with the Jets potentially having interest elsewhere. The Las Vegas Raiders are also reportedly close to signing free agent Jimmy Garoppolo.

Fans can expect further names to be added to the free agency market throughout the coming days, with teams looking to get rid of certain players in order to facilitate moves elsewhere.

Here, Mirror NFL will track all the latest signings throughout free agency.

Arizona Cardinals

Trade : Jonnu Smith (TE)

An underrated defensive tackle, Onyemata has left the New Orleans Saints to join divisional rival Falcons. The terms have not yet been released. They have also signed star Bengals safety Bates in a defensive bolstering move, and traded for receiving threat Smith.

Baltimore Ravens

Signings: Lamar Jackson (QB), Justice Hill (RB), Nelson Agholor (WR)

The Ravens have given Lamar Jackson the non-exclusive franchise tag, meaning teams can still sign him to an offer-sheet with them having the chance to match.

Buffalo Bills

Signings: Connor McGovern (OG), Jordan Poyer (S), Deonte Harty (WR), Sam Martin (P), Kyle Allen (QB), Damien Harris (RB)

The Bills have beefed up their offensive line in hopes of protecting Josh Allen, with the signing of Connor McGovern on a three-year, $23 million.

Carolina Panthers

Signings: Vonn Bell (S), Shy Tuttle (DT), Hayden Hurst (TE), Andy Dalton (QB), Miles Sanders (RB), Adam Thielen (WR), Eddy Pineiro (K)

A defensive captain for both the Cincinnati Bengals and New Orleans Saints, veteran safety Vonn Bell has signed a two-year deal to play for the rebuilding Panthers. They then signed Tuttle and Hurst to three-year deals, before bringing in Andy Dalton to compete at quarterback and Sanders to be their starting running back.

Cincinnati Bengals

Signings: Germaine Pratt (LB), Orlando Brown Jr (OT)

The Bengals have brought back their inside linebacker Pratt, who has been a leader on their defence in their last two championship game seasons, before making a huge splash to bring in left tackle Brown who joins from the Chiefs.

Signings: Obo Okoronkwo (DE), Ethan Pocic (C), Dalvin Tomlinson (DT), Juan Thornhill (S), Joshua Dobbs (QB)

Dallas Cowboys

Signings: Tony Pollard (RB), Donovan Wilson (S), Leighton Vander Esch (LB), Cooper Rush (QB), Dante Fowler Jr. (DE), Ronald Jones (RB)

Trade: Stephon Gilmore (CB), Brandin Cooks (WR)

The Cowboys used their franchise tag on their star running back Pollard, who has replaced the released Ezekiel Elliott as the starter. Trading for former defensive player of the year Gilmore could be their biggest move.

Denver Broncos

Signings: Ben Powers (OG), Mike McGlinchey (OT), Jarret Stidham (QB), Zach Allen (DE), Alex Singleton (LB), Samaje Perine (RB), Chris Manhertz (TE)

The Broncos made their first splash in the Sean Payton-era, acquiring guard Ben Powers on a huge deal from the Baltimore Ravens. He has signed on a four-year, $52m deal. They then added McGlinchey as their right tackle on a huge $80 million deal for four years, while bringing in Stidham to back-up Russell Wilson.

Detroit Lions

Signings: Cam Sutton (CB), Alex Anzalone (LB), Emmanuel Moseley (CB), David Montgomery (RB), Isaiah Buggs (DT), John Cominsky (DT), Will Harris (S), Craig Reynolds (RB), Chauncey Gardner-Johnson (S)

Cornerback was a huge position of need for the Lions and they have addressed that with the signing of Sutton. A former starter for the Steelers, Sutton has been a rising star in the league. He receives a three-year, $33 million deal. The Lions snagged one of the best players in free agency in Chauncey Garnder-Johnson to a one-year deal, while they also resigned their linebacker Anzalone to a three-year, $18 million deal.

Trade: Shaq Mason (G)

The Texans signed Woods on a two-year, $15 million deal, and have since made three more moves in bringing in back-ups at quarterback, running back and pass-rusher. Bringing in one of the better guards in the league in Mason also looks to be a shrewd move.

Indianapolis Colts

Signings: Matt Gay (K), Samson Ebukam (DE), EJ Speed (LB), Ashton Dulin (WR), Taven Bryan (DT), Gardner Minshew (QB), Isaiah McKenzie (WR)

The Colts made Gay one of the highest paid kickers in the league before signing Ebukam to a three-year $27 million deal.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Signings: Ray Robertson-Harris (DT), Andre Wingard (S), CJ Beathard (QB)

Signings: Jawaan Taylor (OT), Charles Omenihu (DE), Derrick Ndidi (DT)

Minnesota Vikings

Signings: Marcus Davenport (DE), Garrett Bradbury (C), Byron Murphy (CB), Josh Oliver (TE), Alexander Mattison (RB), Nick Mullens (QB)

New York Giants

Signings: Daniel Jones (QB), Saquon Barkley (RB), Sterling Shepard (WR), Parris Campbell (WR), Rakeem Nunez-Roches (DL), Bobby Okereke (LB), Bobby McCain (CB), Jamison Crowder (WR)

Trade: Darren Waller (TE)

Resigning Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley will have taken up a lot of the Giants' cap space, but they were still able to bolster their defence with Nunez-Roches and Okereke in solid deals. Adding Darren Waller to the offense gives the team a huge upgrade at tight end.

New York Jets

Signings: Allen Lazard (WR), Quincy Williams (LB), Solomon Thomas (DT), Greg Zuerlein (K), Mecole Hardman (WR)

Trade: Chuck Clark (S)

The Jets have brought in one of Aaron Rodgers' trusted receivers in Lazard in what might be an indication of what is to come. Safety Chuck Clark brings versatility to their defense.

Philadelphia Eagles

Signings: Rashaad Penny (RB), James Bradberry (CB), Boston Scott (RB), Brandon Graham (DE), Jason Kelce (C), Fletcher Cox (DT), Marcus Mariota (QB), Nicholas Morrow (LB)

The Eagles are unlikely to bring back Miles Sanders, but have replaced him with one of the best yards per carry backs in the league in Penny, who has struggled with injuries in his career. They have also brought back four of their own.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Signings: Patrick Peterson (CB), Cole Holcomb (LB), Larry Ogunjobi (DT), Nate Herbig (G), Zach Gentry (TE)

One of the best cornerbacks of the last decade has signed a two-year, $14 million deal. Peterson remains a solid player into his 30's.

San Francisco 49ers

Signings: Javon Hargreave (DT), Sam Darnold (QB), Tashaun Gipson (S), Jake Brendel (C), Clelin Ferrell (DE)

Arguably the best player in free agency joins the best defensive team of last season in a huge move. Hargreave had 11 sacks from the interior last season - a rare stat. He has signed a four-year, $84m deal. As well as Hargreave, the Niners have signed Darnold who will compete with Trey Lance with Brock Purdy likely out for the season.

Seattle Seahawks

Signings: Geno Smith (QB), Dre'Mont Jones (DT), Jarran Reed (DT), Jason Myers (K), Ryan Neal (S), Phil Haynes (G), Julian Love (CB), Bobby Wagner (LB)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Signings: Jamel Dean (CB), Baker Mayfield (QB), Lavonte David (LB)

Tennessee Titans

Signings: Andre Dillard (OT), Azeez Al-Shaair (LB), Arden Key (DE), Daniel Brunskill (C)

Washington Commanders

Signings: Andrew Wylie (OT), Cody Barton (LB), Daron Payne (DT), Efe Obada (DE), Cameron Dantzler (CB), Jacoby Brissett (QB)

The Commanders acquired the Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, and now have signed their right tackle. Wylie performed strongly in the Super Bowl winning side. Barton will bolster their linebacker core who joins on one-year deal from the Seahawks.
