NEW YORK — The NFL is looking into whether some teams entered agreements with 2015 free agents before they were allowed to do so.
The league sent a memo to the 32 clubs reminding them not to reach agreement with or sign any of the 2015 free agents until Tuesday at 4 p.m. EDT. The memo noted a "reported number of agreements" and said violations will be "dealt with accordingly."
Teams were given a three-day window beginning Saturday to meet with representatives of free agents. The league's business year begins Tuesday and players can be signed. But in the wake of many reported contract agreements, the NFL issued the warning.
