GLOSSARY
An Exclusive Rights Free Agent (ERFA) is defined as a player with an expiring contract who has less than three accrued seasons. He can only sign with his old club, provided that he is offered a one-year contract at the minimum salary for the upcoming year. If the exclusive rights free agent gets no such offer, he is free to sign with any team.
A Restricted Free Agent (RFA) is any player that has completed three accrued seasons and their contract has expired. A RFA must be tendered with an offer on or before the Restricted Free Agent Signing Period begins. The RFA can be tendered one of four offers:
(1) Right of first refusal and draft selection at player’s original draft round but a second-round pick if the player was a first-round pick: This is a one-year player contract at a salary of $1.01 million or 110 percent of the players prior year’s salary (whichever is greater). If another club signs said RFA, the team tendering the offer receives one draft pick equal to the round the RFA was selected in during the draft but in the case the player was a first round pick the pick will be a second round pick.
(2) Right of first refusal and a second-round pick: This is a one year player contract at a salary of $1.545 million or 110 percent of the players prior year’s salary (whichever is greater). If another club signs said RFA, the team tendering the offer receives one second round draft pick.
(3) Right of first refusal and one first round draft selection: This is a one year player contract at a salary of $2.198 million or 110 percent of the players prior year’s salary (whichever is greater). If another club signs said RFA, the team tendering the offer receives one first round draft pick.
(4) Right of first refusal and one first round draft selection, and one third round draft selection: This is a one year player contract at a salary of $2.792 million or 110 percent of the players prior year’s salary (whichever is greater). If another club signs said RFA, the team tendering the offer receives one first round draft pick and one third round draft selection. If no tender offer is made by the start of the Restricted Free Agent Signing Period, then the player becomes an Unrestricted Free Agent.
An Unrestricted Free Agent (UFA) is any player with four or more accrued seasons whose contract has expired. A UFA is free to sign with any team without limitations and restrictions until July 15th.
