The 2026 NFL Draft is still more than two months away, but teams are in the early stages of preparation as they look to build competitive rosters for the 2026 season through the talent acquisition portion of the offseason.
The NFL Scouting Combine will be held Feb. 23-March 2 in Indianapolis. Free agency officially opens March 11 at 4 p.m. ET. Any trades agreed upon prior to that date do not become official until the new league year opens March 11.
