NFL Free Agency 2020: Live updates, latest rumors and signings across the league

Welcome to Day 3 of the new league year! It didn't take long Friday before we saw fireworks, as the Atlanta Falcons have added Todd Gurley a day after he was released by the Rams. Gurley returns to Georgia, where he rushed for 3,285 yards and 36 touchdowns in three college seasons.

The Falcons added Gurley to an offense that has Matt Ryan at quarterback, Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley at wide receiver, and Hayden Hurst at tight end. Four of those players mentioned are first-round picks, making Atlanta's offense one of the most talented in the NFL. 

In case Gurley wasn't enough to get your Friday going, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers officially announced the signing of Tom Brady as their next quarterback. 

It's truly a wild time in the league and there's still a few more big names left to be signed. Where will Jameis Winston land? What about Jadeveon Clowney? 

There's still plenty of fireworks remaining in free agency, but don't worry. CBS Sports will help you run through all the hysteria and keep you informed on all the latest action in the NFL:

The Cowboys escape a dire need at LB this free agency and in the draft by convincing Sean Lee to return on a one-year deal, which didn't take much convincing at all. Lee will now provide starter-caliber insurance at the position, and allows the team to focus on their other (many) outstanding needs. It's a key retention that will fly under the radar.

They're still in search of a CB1 to replace Byron Jones, but it's looking more and more like it'll be a premium pick in the draft to solve that problem -- Desmond Truvant and Chris Harris, Jr. now being gone. They were never interested in trading for and then paying Darius Slay, who is two years older than Jones (who they also refused to pay big money to), like the Eagles did.

While he did not address the reasons behind Gurley's diminished role in the offense (his 272 touches were the lowest since his rookie season), Snead said that Gurley never complained about his lack of touches. Snead also made it clear that he does not regret his decision to extend Gurley's contract, which might be off the books soon.

 

With regard to the Gurley trade rumors, Rams general manager Les Snead said this about Gurley shortly after the 2019 season ended:

"I think we've seen players have years that were less than the past come back and actually get back to where they were," Snead said, via The Associated Press. "He's still a young football player. ... If you did take a step back this year, in terms of stats, I do think you can see players who do come back and get to a higher level than they were in their down years."
