| 2009 Restricted Free Agents (RFA) |
| Restricted
free agents are players who have completed three accrued seasons of
service and whose contracts have expired. They have received
qualifying offers from their old clubs and are free to negotiate
with any club until just before the NFL Draft, at which time their
rights revert to their original club. If a player accepts an offer
from a new club, the old club will have the right to match the offer
and retain the player. If the old club elects not to match the
offer, it may receive draft-choice compensation depending on the
level of the qualifying offer made to the
player. |

| 2009 Unrestricted Free Agents (UFA) |
| Unrestricted
veteran free agents are players who have completed four or more
accrued seasons of service and whose contracts have expired. They
are free to sign with any club through July 22 (or the first
scheduled day of the first NFL training camp, whichever is later).
On July 23, their exclusive rights will revert to their original
club if that club made a June 1 tender to these players. Teams will
have until the Tuesday after the 10th week of the season to sign
their unrestricted veteran free agents to whom a tender was made on
June 1. If the player does not sign by then, he must continue to sit
out the remainder of the season. If a June 1 tender is not made to
an unrestricted free agent, he continues to be free to sign with any
club. |
