The Super Bowl LIX is in the rearview mirror as we are well into the 2025 NFL offseason. And, boy, is it chock-full of important events, from free agency and the draft to the start of spring programming.

Here’s a full rundown of the biggest events and when they’re scheduled to take place:

Starting now

Trade negotiating: All NFL teams are permitted to discuss and/or agree to any trades involving players or draft picks. However, if a trade includes players on existing contracts, it cannot be finalized and processed until the start of the league year in March (see below).
