Hey everybody, good morning and welcome back to the Zach Jackson and Friends podcast.

Free Agency is almost here.

It is Thursday, March 6th, as I record this, not sure when you'll listen to it, but Monday,

the 10th is the official beginning of the player movement period, the negotiation period.

So nothing can be processed until Wednesday, the 12th. That's the beginning of the player movement period, the negotiation period.

So nothing can be processed until Wednesday, the 12th. That's the start of the new league year when teams have to be cap compliant and other

minutiaas can't give, like releases of post-June 1 guys and whatever can't be filed until then.

But the player movement period is on.

Across the league, there are trade requests. There are restructures. There are contract extensions. Trade talks can go on.

And through in two of the last four years, three years, uh, the Browns have made trades and both

were really good ones, um, at the time at the time on Saturday before it started.

So business has picked up and maybe something else will have happened by the time you listen

to this.

Maybe not.

I came home from the combine with a little bit of sickness. I'm sure the doctors have an official word for what I have. I came home from the combine with a little bit of sickness.

I'm sure the doctors have an official word for what I have.

I call it being up past my bedtime at the combine.

So yesterday I recorded with Joe Biscalia, my colleague in Buffalo, from the athletic.

And you will hear that conversation later in this podcast if you

if you choose to stick around.

And I hope you do.
