NFL Player Contract - ANSWER A written agreement or series of such agreements
executed at or about the same time between a person and an NFL Club pursuant to which
such person is employed by such Club as a professional football player.
Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) - ANSWER The union contract between the
NFL Players Association and the NFL Management Council covering the terms and conditions
of employment of all NFL players.
Draft or College Draft - ANSWER The NFL's annual draft of Rookie football players
described in CBA Article 6 (College Draft).
Drafted Rookie - ANSWER A person who is selected in the current League Year's
Draft or whose Draft rights are held, or continue to be held, consistent with this Agreement,
by an NFL Club that selected the Rookie in a prior Draft.
Required Tender - ANSWER A Player Contract tender that a Club is required to make
to a player pursuant to the CBA, either as a matter of right with respect to the player, or to
receive Rights of First Refusal, Draft Choice Compensation and/or other rights with respect
to the player, as specified in the CBA.
Right of First Refusal - ANSWER The right of an NFL Club, as described in CBA
Articles 9 (Veteran Free Agency) and 10 (Franchise and Transition Players) to retain the
services of certain Veteran players by matching offers made to those players.

, Draft Choice Compensation - ANSWER The right of any Club, as described in CBA
Articles 9 (Veteran Free Agency) and Article 10 (Franchise and Transition Players) to receive
draft pick(s) from any other Club.
Exclusive Rights Player - ANSWER A player whose contract expires at a time when he
has less than three Accrued Seasons in the NFL cannot market his services to other clubs if
his old club gives him a minimum salary tender, as described in CBA Article 8, on or before
the last day of that League Year. If the tender is provided, this player can only re-sign with his
old club (unless the tender is later withdrawn).
restricted free agent - ANSWER A player whose contract expires when he has earned
three (3) Accrued Seasons. If his old club provides him with a sufficient "Qualifying Offer", as
described in CBA Article 9, on or before the last day of that League Year, it retains the right to
either match an offer the player may get from another club or to receive draft choice
compensation from the club making the offer. The Qualifying Offer is based on the level of
draft choices the old club wants to receive. For example, the Qualifying Offer to a player with
three (3) Accrued Seasons in 2021 for the Club to receive a second-round draft choice and
the Right of First Refusal in 2021 is $3,384,000. For the 2021 League Year, the Restricted Free
Agent has until April 23, 2021 to generate an offer from another club. If he fails to get an
offer, his exclusive rights revert to the old club unless the Qualifying Offer is withdrawn.
Unrestricted Free Agent - ANSWER As described in CBA Article 9, a player whose
contract expires when he has earned at least four (4) Accrued Seasons is free to sign with
any other club if he does so by July 22 of the same year. If he does not sign elsewhere, his
exclusive rights revert to his old club after July 22 only if his old club has given him a written
tender by the Monday following the last day of that year's NFL Draft offering to re-sign him
for an additional year at a ten percent increase in. If his prior club does not tender such
player, then the player remains an Unrestricted Free Agent for the remainder of that League
Year. An Unrestricted Free Agent will be restricted in signing elsewhere, however, if he is
designated a Franchise or Transition Player.
Franchise Player - ANSWER Each club may designate one player who would
otherwise be an Unrestricted Free Agent as a Franchise Player. The designation must be
made within a two-week period beginning on the twenty-second day preceding the first day
of the new League Year and will end at 4:00 p.m. New York time on the eighth day preceding
the first day of the new League Year. The club must tender the Franchise Player an offer
