Unrestricted Free Agent (UFA)
Unrestricted free agents have completed
four or more accrued seasons with an expired contract. He is free
to sign with any club, with no compensation owed to his old club,
through July 22 (or the first scheduled day of the first NFL training
camp, whichever is later). On July 23, his rights revert to his
old club if it made a "tender" offer (110 percent of last year's
salary) to him by June 1. His old club then has until the 10th week
of the season (November 9) to sign him. If he does not sign by November
9, he must sit out the season. If no tender is offered by June 1,
the player can be signed by any club at any time throughout the
season.
Restricted Free Agent (RFA)
Players become restricted free agents
when they complete three accrued seasons and their contract expires.
He has received a "qualifying" offer from his old club. He can negotiate
with any club through April 16. If the restricted free agent accepts
an offer sheet from a new club, his old club can match the offer
and retain him because it has the "right of first refusal." If
the old club does not match the offer, it can possibly receive draft-choice
compensation ("Comp." heading in table above) depending on the amount
of its qualifying offer. If an offer sheet is not
executed, the player?s rights revert to his old club on April 16.
