It's official: The NFL has exploded. Adam Schefter is our God now.
Expected to be a quiet, ho-hum affair, the first day of NFL free agency proved to be anything but as the 4 p.m. signing date arrived. Much like the NBA trade deadline, last-minute deals and tons of behind-the-scenes action conspired to throw the league completely off-balance. Sam Bradford is now with the Philadelphia Eagles. Next season, Jimmy Graham will catch passes from Russell Wilson. WHAT'S HAPPENING??
We don't rightly know. But we'll do our best to provide up-to-the-minute news as all the action unfolds. Keep it locked here for all your updates.
