As the NFL free agency period continues, fans are eagerly awaiting news on where star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (OBJ) will sign. With several teams showing interest in the talented player, many are wondering when he has to make a decision. According to the NFL's rules, OBJ, or any free agent, can sign with a new team starting at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 16. This marks the official start of the 2022 league year and the opening of free agency. However, players are allowed to negotiate and agree to terms with teams before this date. The NFL's 'legal tampering period' begins at 12 p.m. ET on Monday, March 14, during which teams are allowed to contact and negotiate with the agents of impending free agents. This means that while OBJ can negotiate with teams and come to verbal agreements before March 16, he will not be able to officially sign a contract until the official start of the new league year. With this in mind, fans can expect to see announcements regarding OBJ's new team shortly after the legal tampering period begins, with the official signings happening on March 16. The countdown is on for OBJ and his potential new team as they work towards securing a deal that benefits both parties and sets the stage for an exciting upcoming NFL season.
