NFL free agency unofficially starts on Monday, Mar. 10, when the legal tampering period opens, giving teams the opportunity to negotiate with unrestricted free agents.

But that hasn't stopped a series of major moves from happening on the eve of free agency, with including a blockbuster trade sending D.K. Metcalf from the Seattle Seahawks to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a 2nd-round pick, and Josh Allen signing a ludicrous, $330 million contract with the Buffalo Bills.

The Vikings have been making moves themselves, signing running back Aaron Jones to a two-year extension.

The legal tampering period opens at 11 a.m. CT Monday, continuing through the official opening of free agency at 3 p.m. on Wednesday.

Here are the latest Vikings-related updates and rumors on a busy evening in the NFL.

7 p.m. Sunday
– Vikings re-signing running back Aaron Jones to two-year deal
– Report: Steelers are expected to make an offer to Sam Darnold
– Vikings, Colts expected to be 'leading contenders' to sign Daniel Jones
