NFL offseason lookahead: Free agency, draft on the horizon
So, how did the first Sunday without any NFL action since Labor Day weekend treat you?
It's a weird weekend when suddenly there's no football 😟.
Never fret, football fans. There's plenty of football stuff on the horizon. Check it out …
- 10 days until on-field workouts start at the NFL scouting combine.
- 21 days until NFL free agency begins with the opening of the legal tampering period.
- 40 days until the UFL season kicks off.
- 66 days until the 2024 NFL draft.
NFL combine invite list revealed
Last week, the NFL released the list of the 321 draft prospects who were invited to the scouting combine, which will take place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. It should come as no surprise, but college football national champion Michigan had the most players invited to this year's combine with 18.

Updated mock draft
It's officially mock draft season, and Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz's post-Super Bowl 58 projection still has Caleb Williams going No. 1 overall, but might the champion Kansas City Chiefs be looking to get Patrick Mahomes a new weapon at wide receiver?
Who are top free agents for 2024?
The NFL's version of March Madness will be here before you know it.
For some franchises, that could mean significant personnel changes, whether via trades, signings or departures. And the biggest frenzy of all begins on March 11 with the opening of the legal tampering period of free agency. Brace yourself!
