QUESTIONS WITH 100% CORRECT SOLUTIONS
| GUARANTEED SUCCESS.
1. Rookie Compensation and Rookie Compensation Pool - correct answer

four-year contracts. Calculations on each drafted rookie's contract must

One Rookie Salary is done basically the same way computing a
veteran's cap number.
2. NFL Player Contract - correct 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.

to be held, consistent with this Agreement, by an NFL Club that selected
the Rookie in a prior Draft.
6. Required Tender - correct 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.
7. Right of First Refusal - correct 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.
8. Draft Choice Compensation - correct 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.
9. Exclusive Rights Player - correct 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only re-sign with his old club (unless the tender is later withdrawn).

10. restricted free agent - correct 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.
11. Unrestricted Free Agent - correct 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.
12. Franchise Player - correct answer - Each club may designate one
player who would otherwise be an Unrestricted Free Agent as a
