2018 Free Agency
At the beginning of the offseason, each team can use the following to sign its free agents:
When a contract expires, whether it's an individual player or DST, the player/DST becomes a UFA (Unrestricted Free Agent) available in the upcoming Auction Draft. A team can only retain that UFA if it puts the Franchise or Transition Tag on that player/DST.
In the NFL, a Franchise/Transition Tag results in a 1-year contract, giving the team and the player's agent time to negotiate a long term deal. In NYOFACE, we build into our tag the team-agent negotiation and long-term deal. August 30, 2008

- Non-Exclusive Franchise Tag
- This is the most commonly used tag. When most people refer to the "franchise tag" it's generally the non-exclusive version to which they are discussing. It is a one-year tender offer to a player for an amount no less than the average of the top five salaries at the player's position over the last five years, or 120 percent of the player's previous salary, whichever is greater. The player can negotiate with other teams. The player's current team has the right to match any offer, or receive two first-round picks as compensation.
- Exclusive Franchise Tag
- A one-year tender offer to a player for an amount no less than the average of the top five salaries at the player's position for the current year, or 120 percent of the player's previous salary, whichever is greater. The player's team has all negotiating rights to the player. The bump in pay scale (current average salary versus averaging past five years of data) means only the crème de la crème get this tag (think: Drew Brees or Von Miller).
- Transition Tag
- Think of this as the "you are pretty good, and we might want to keep you, but aren't willing to put a ring on you ourselves" tag. The transition designation is a one-year tender offer to a player for an amount that is the average of the top 10 salaries at the position -- as opposed to top five. It guarantees the original club the right of first refusal to match any offer the player might receive from another team, but no compensation if the team chooses not to match.
