How Does NFL Free Agency Work?

During free agency, free agents (See below for more on the types of free agents) are allowed to negotiate new contract terms with any of the league’s 32 teams, including their own if they want to extend or re-sign with their current squad.

Teams can use this period to address issues on their roster, adding depth or strengthening weak positions, bringing in veteran players or superstars and managing their cap space.

Teams have to tread carefully, however. The wrong signing could blow up in their face, taking up valuable cap space, or they could lose a key player to another team if they can’t match the terms offered by their rival.

Here are the types of NFL free agents:

Types of Free Agents

Here are the different types of free agents:

Unrestricted Free Agents (UFA) – Players with four or more accrued seasons whose contracts have expired. They can sign with any team with no restrictions.

Restricted Free Agents (RFA) – Players with three accrued seasons whose contracts have expired. Their original team can match any offer from another team (called the “right of first refusal”) and may receive draft pick compensation if they don’t match.

Exclusive Rights Free Agents (ERFA) – Players with two or fewer accrued seasons. They can only negotiate with their original team if given a qualifying offer.

Franchise and Transition Tags – Teams can designate one key player per year with either:

Franchise Tag – Locks a player in for one year at a top salary for their position, with exclusive or non-exclusive rights.
Transition Tag – Allows the player to sign with another team, but the original team has the right to match the offer.
