    NFL teams were allowed to agree to contracts with undrafted players immediately, a source said Monday night.

    Originally, the league announced that teams could not negotiate with rookie free agents until 10 a.m. ET on Tuesday. However, a change was made during the day and teams were notified they could start talking to undrafted players starting at 6 p.m. ET on Monday, the source said.

    "Teams can negotiate with rookies tonight but not sign them until tomorrow," Aiello wrote.
