NFL free agency officially began with the new league year kicking off at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday. There were plenty of moves made during the legal tampering period on Monday and Tuesday, but those deals were basically handshake agreements.

Released, non-tendered, traded, lost in free agency or retired before 2024 season: WR Stefon Diggs, DE Leonard Floyd, WR Gabe Davis, CB Tre’Davious White, C Mitch Morse, LB Tyrel Dodson, S Micah Hyde (returned to practice squad late in 2024 season but did not appear in a game), S Jordan Poyer, CB Dane Jackson

On defense, the changes were more severe. They said goodbye this week to three defensive line starters — Floyd, Maliek Collins and Javon Hargrave — starting linebacker Dre Greenlaw, and two key members of the secondary in cornerback Charvarius Ward and safety Talanoa Hufanga.
