Team by Team Listing of all 524 of the 2013 NFL Free Agents

The National Football League yesterday announced that 524 players are free agents who now can negotiate with all 32 clubs. Players are either “restricted” or “unrestricted” free agents. Within the categories are also “franchise” and “transition” players.

The time period for free agency signings in 2013: · Restricted Free Agents – March 12 to April 19. · Unrestricted Free Agents (who have received June 1 tender from prior club) – March 12 to July 22 (or the first scheduled day of the first NFL training camp, whichever is later). · Franchise Players – March 12 to November 12, the Tuesday following the 10th week of the regular season. · Transition Players – There are no transition player designations this year.

Following is a list of free agents by club in four different categories:

1.     Restricted Free Agents who received Qualifying Offers from their Prior Clubs and are subject to the First Refusal/Compensation system of the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement:

If a New Club reaches an agreement with a player in Category No. 1 for the 2013 season or for 2013 and future seasons, the agreement must be set forth in an Offer Sheet, signed by both the New Club and the player, and must be substantiated in the form of Appendix B of the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement.  The New Club then must immediately: hand deliver the Offer Sheet, or send it by overnight mail, or by electronic mail in.pdf form (in each case a confirmation copy shall also be sent by first class mail) to the Prior Club, to the attention of the club’s President or General Manager. The New Club must send copies of the Offer Sheet to the National Football League Players Association (to the attention of Mark Levin), and to the National Football League (to the attention of the Player Personnel Department) using the above described delivery methods.  If the Offer Sheet is hand delivered, the New Club should obtain an acknowledgement of receipt.  In addition, the New Club shall notify the League office by NFLnet of the terms of an Offer Sheet immediately upon delivery to a Prior Club.

The Prior Club has a Right of First Refusal to all players listed above.  Compensation is as listed in the column on the right.  If the Prior Club has only a Right of First Refusal and is therefore not entitled to any compensation, the designation “ROFR” appears in the column.  In order to submit an Offer Sheet, a New Club must have available the required choice, defined as its own or better choice in the applicable rounds, in the 2013 Selection Meeting.

Offer Sheets may be submitted to a Prior Club until 11:59:59 p.m., New York time, on Friday, April 19

2.       Players with three or more accrued seasons who have been designated as Franchise Players:

The Prior Club has a Right of First Refusal to the players listed above and compensation of two No. 1 Draft Choices.  In order to submit an Offer Sheet, a New Club must have available the required choices, defined as its own or better choices in the First Round in the 2013 and 2014 Selection Meetings.  Offer Sheets may be submitted to a Prior Club until 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the Tuesday following the 10^th regular season weekend.

3.     Unrestricted Free Agents with four or more accrued seasons:

In the event that a player in this category has not signed a Player Contract with a Club by July 22 or the first scheduled day of the first NFL training camp, whichever is later, in the League Year following the expiration of his last Player Contract, he may negotiate or sign a Player Contract from July 22 until the Tuesday following the tenth week of the regular season, at 4:00 p.m., New York time, only with his Prior Club, provided that the Prior Club has extended such player a June 1 Tender under Article 9, Section 1(b)(i) of the CBA.

In the event the player has not signed a Player Contract with a Club by June 1 of the League Year following the expiration of his last Player Contract, and if his Prior Club has not extended the player a June 1 Tender or has withdrawn the Tender, the player shall be completely free to negotiate and sign a Player Contract with any Club with no signing deadline applicable to such player.

4.     Players with fewer than four accrued seasons who received no Qualifying Offer or minimum tender from their Prior Clubs:

The players in this category may be signed with no rights of any character held by the Prior Club.  There is no signing deadline applicable to these players.
