Let’s explore some interesting facts about this particular sport.

The National Football League divides free agents into two categories: restricted free agents with three accumulated seasons and whose current contract has expired, and unrestricted free agents with four or more accrued seasons and whose contract has expired.

Six or more regular-season games on a club’s active/inactive, reserve/injured, or reserve/physically unable to perform lists constitute an accumulated season. Limited free agents may negotiate with clubs other than their former club, although the old club has the right to match any offer.

If they do not, they will be rewarded with draft selections. Unrestricted free agents are free to sign with any club and get no remuneration if they do so.

A franchise tag is granted to each club to offer to any unrestricted free agent.

The franchise tag is a one-year contract worth 120% of the player’s prior contract or no less than the average of the five highest-paid players at his position, whichever is larger.

There are two types of franchise tags: exclusive tags, which prohibit the player from negotiating with other clubs, and non-exclusive tags, which permit the player to negotiate with other clubs but give his former club the right to match any offer and two first-round draft picks if they decline to match it.
