2024 NFL Free Agency, Live Updates: NFC North

The 2024 NFC North free agency offseason is about to pick up steam. The Chicago Bears currently have the draft’s number one overall pick and another in the draft’s Top 10 picks. But they moved swiftly to pick up a fast running back in free agency and even faster to lock up its top corner.

What will the Vikings do now that former Pro Bowl quarterback Kirk Cousins has left the building? They were not the only team to lose a Pro Bowler. The same can be said for the Lions and Packers, with one team releasing a long-time starter and the other losing a free agent to a rival. Please come back for more updates as this is a live document.
