Outages on X have NFL fans scrambling for free agency news

As the legal tampering period in the NFL kicked off, many fans were left in the dark as technical issues run rampant on X, formerly known as Twitter.

On Monday morning, the popular social media website that many people use to get their news was littered with functionality problems. Although the website has recently started updating properly, there was a not-so-brief period of time where fans were unsure what was going on in the NFL world.

With so many free agency deals going down over the last week, fans were left biting their nails, wondering if they’d missed a massive move amidst the outages. Some pundits even turned to other platforms like BlueSky or Threads in order to keep people informed.

The issues started being noticed by users at 9:45 a.m. ET. Since then, deals like Jimmy Garoppolo re-signing with the Los Angeles Rams, Chris Godwin re-signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jaylon Moore joining the Kansas City Chiefs, and many more all went down with fans unable to confirm or even load updates to catch the news themselves.

Is X still down?

As of approximately 12:30 p.m. ET, the website stopped experiencing outages.
