We are back for day 2 of NFL free agency. The first day saw a lot of the pre-negotiated deals get done, so there were not too many surprises. The big surprise for the San Francisco 49ers was how much money they gave running back Jerick McKinnon. It’s effectively a one-year deal with options, but it’s still some big money for a running back still looking to make his mark in the NFL.
It was a busy day around the NFL. OhBenE put together a helpful laundry list of notable transactions that I thought I would share here. There have been other moves, but these are some of the more interesting ones for our purposes.
