Teams can not have direct contact or visits with players, but CAN talk with their agents, so at the very start, the player can sign the best offer or wait. The agents spreads the news that so n so offered xx so that teams can get their best in before it opens. This is also how news guys get their inside info

This.  100% this.  It's not tampering to have a plan in place and pull the trigger very quickly out the gate when the agent is the contact.  Especially if the players trust their agents and the agents have been doing their prep work, this can get closed pretty quickly.  

What a crazy start to FA this year, though.  Soooo very different than the usual sitting on pins and needles watching everyone desired in FA sign with other teams.
