Here's some information pertaining to what will transpire over the next week.
MARCH
March 10 Prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time, deadline for clubs to designate Franchise or Transition Players.
March 16-18 Clubs are permitted to contact, and enter into contract negotiations with, the certified agents of players who will become Unrestricted Free Agents upon the expiration of their 2019 player contracts at 4:00 p.m., New York time, on March 18.
March 18 Prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time, clubs must exercise options for 2020 on all players who have option clauses in their 2019 contracts.
Prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time, clubs must submit qualifying offers to their Restricted Free Agents with expiring contracts to retain a Right of First Refusal/Compensation.
Prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time, clubs must submit a minimum salary tender to retain exclusive negotiating rights to their players with expiring 2019 contracts who have fewer than three accrued seasons of free agency credit.
Here's a thread to consolidate the rumors, ongoing negotiations and eventually the inking of contracts. I like this a lot better than clogging up the board with a new thread over every single player that we should meet/negotiate with.
At this point, I've really just had it with trying to make heads/tails out of the rumor mill. We're a week away from all of the speculation beginning to end.
February through mid-March is such a tedious time of the NFL calendar year.
