NFL free agency starts tonight!

OK, so I guess I'm a bit of a dork for getting excited for the NFL free agency period, which starts tonight at 12:01 a.m. But the Falcons could be in the mix of teams looking to make an early move once p.m. turns to a.m.

Here are some things to look for:

- Cornerback DeAngelo Hall has made it very clear that he wants out of Atlanta. Along with free agency, tonight marks the first night trades can be made between teams, as well. The Giants and Redskins are interested in the Pro Bowl corner, and a team like the Bills could look to strike a deal if the price is right.

- Linebacker Michael Boley is an unrestricted free agent and could be on his way out of town, as well, if the Falcons don't ink him before this evening. There are a lot of teams that would fall all over each other for Boley's services, so keep an eye out on this front.

I'll be scouring the net tonight for the latest and most up-to-date moves and rumors, so check back frequently to see what the Falcons and the other NFL teams do during the early period.
