NFL free agency has kicked off with the legal negotiation window -- which began at noon ET on Monday -- and players will be able to officially sign with new teams after 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday, which is the start of the new league year.

Jason Pinnock is the first free-agent departure from the Giants this offseason, reportedly agreeing to a one-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers. Pinnock was a waiver wire success story for the Giants, starting 37 games over three seasons after being claimed at the start of the 2022 season.

The first stage of the player acquisition period of the NFL offseason is here. The league's free agency period started at noon Monday. That's when the official "negotiation window" opened up for teams to reach out to players' agents and start talking about and reaching agreement on deals.
