STATEMENT FROM NFL COMMISSIONER ROGER GOODELL ON THE PASSING OF JOHN CLAYTON

​"John Clayton, one of the first "Insiders," helped bring fans closer to the game they loved. For five decades, he covered the league with endless energy and professionalism.  He earned my tremendous respect and admiration as a journalist but more importantly as a wonderful person, particularly as it relates to the love, care, and devotion to his wife Pat.  We will miss John and send our deepest condolences to Pat and his sister Amy." 2022 Free Agency Signing Period Begins The National Football League today announced which 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 2022: Restricted Free Agents – March 16 to April 22. Unrestricted Free Agents (who have received the May 2 tender from prior club) – March 16 to July 22 (or the first scheduled day of the first NFL training camp, whichever is later). Franchise Players – March 16 to the Tuesday following Week 10 of the regular season. Transition Players – March 16 to July 22. A list of free agents by club in various categories: Restricted free agents who received qualifying offers from their prior clubs and are subject to the first refusal/draft choice compensation system of the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement: Club Player Pos.

The new club and the player must specifically identify in the offer sheet those provisions they believe are principal terms that must be matched by the prior club. 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 and to the National Football League using the above described delivery procedures. 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 via the transaction system 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 in the category above.  Draft choice 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 compensation, the designation "ROFR" appears in that column. In order to submit an offer sheet, a new club must have available the required selection choice, defined as its own or better choice in the applicable rounds, in the 2022 NFL Draft. Offer sheets may be submitted to a prior club until 11:59:59 p.m., New York time, on Friday, April 22. An offer sheet shall be deemed given only when received by the prior club. A first refusal exercise notice, which must be substantially in the form of Appendix C to the CBA, shall be deemed given when sent by the prior club.

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 2022 and 2023 NFL Drafts. Offer sheets must be submitted to a prior club prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the Tuesday following the 10th regular season weekend. Offer sheets to franchise players are subject to the rules governing offer sheets to restricted free agents, as set forth in the category above, except that the prior club will be entitled to two No. 1 draft choices if the club declines to exercise its right of first refusal.

A.   At 4:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 16. Q.  When is the two-day negotiating period for potential unrestricted free agents? A.   From 12:00 p.m. ET on Monday, March 14 until 3:59:59 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 16, clubs are permitted to contact and enter into contract negotiations with the certified agents of players who will become unrestricted free agents upon expiration of their 2021 player contracts at 4:00 p.m. ET on March 16. Q.  What are the categories of free agency? A.   Players are either “restricted free agents” or “unrestricted free agents.”  A restricted free agent may be subject to a “qualifying offer.”  A restricted or unrestricted free agent may be designated by his prior club as its franchise player or transition player. Q.  What is the time period for free agency signings this year? A.   For restricted free agents, from March 16 to April 22.  For unrestricted free agents who have received a tender from their prior club by the Monday immediately following the final day of the NFL Draft for the 2022 League Year (i.e., May 2), from March 16 to July 22 (or the first scheduled day of the first NFL training camp, whichever is later).  For franchise players, from March 16 until the Tuesday following Week 10 of the regular season, November 15.  For transition players, from March 16 until July 22.  After July 22 and until 4 p.m. ET on the Tuesday following Week 10 of the regular season, November 15, the prior club has exclusive negotiating rights to unrestricted free agents and transition players.  If the above-listed players do not sign by November 15, they must sit out the season.   Q.  What is the difference between a restricted free agent and an unrestricted free agent? A.   In the 2022 league year, players with three accrued seasons who have received a qualifying offer become restricted free agents when their contracts expire at the conclusion of the 2021 league year on March 16.  Unrestricted free agents have completed four or more accrued seasons.  Upon expiration of his 2021 contract, an unrestricted free agent is free to sign with any club with no draft-choice compensation owed to his old club. Q.  What constitutes an “accrued season”? A.   Six or more regular season games on a club's active/inactive, reserve/injured or reserve/physically unable to perform lists. Q.  How do the free agency rules apply to restricted free agents?  A.   If a player with three accrued seasons has received a “qualifying offer” (a salary tender predetermined by the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the league and its players) from his old club, he can negotiate with any club through April 22.  If the restricted free agent signs an offer sheet with a new club, his old club can match the offer and retain him because the qualifying offer entitles it to a “right of first refusal” on any offer sheet the player signs.  If the old club does not match the offer, it may receive draft-choice compensation depending on the amount of its qualifying offer.  If an offer sheet is not executed on or before April 22, the player’s negotiating rights revert exclusively to his old club.  In addition, prior to the start of free agency a player who would otherwise be a restricted free agent may be designated by his old club as its franchise player or transition player. Q.   What are the right of first refusal/qualifying offer amounts for players who have completed three accrued seasons? A.   For right of first refusal only, a one-year salary of at least $2,433,000.  For right of first refusal and compensation at the player’s original draft round, a one-year salary of at least $2,540,000 or 110 percent of the 2021 Paragraph 5 salary, whichever is greater. For right of first refusal and compensation of one second-round draft selection, a one-year salary of at least $3,986,000 or 110 percent of the 2021 Paragraph 5 salary, whichever is greater. For right of first refusal and compensation of one first-round draft selection, a one-year salary of at least $5,562,000 or 110 percent of the 2021 Paragraph 5 salary, whichever is greater. For right of first refusal and compensation of only one first-round draft selection, but any provision in the new club’s offer sheet waiving or limiting the new club’s ability to designate the player as a franchise or transition player is not a principal term and need not be matched by the prior club, a one-year salary of at least $6,062,000 or 110 percent of the 2021 Paragraph 5 salary, whichever is greater. Q.  What determines an unrestricted free agent? A.   A player with four or more accrued seasons whose contract has expired.  He is free to sign with any club, with no draft-choice compensation owed to his old club, through July 22 (or the first scheduled day of the first NFL training camp, whichever is later).  At that point, his negotiating rights revert exclusively to his old club if by May 2 the old club tendered the player a one-year contract for 110 percent of his prior year’s salary.  His old club then has until the Tuesday following Week 10 of the regular season (November 15) to sign him.  If he does not sign by that date, he must sit out the season.  If no tender is offered by May 2, the player can be signed by any club at any time throughout the season.  Q.  What determines a franchise player? A.  The salary offer by a player’s club determines what type of franchise player he is: exclusive or non-exclusive.        An “exclusive” franchise player – not free to sign with another club – is offered the greater of (i) the average of the top five salaries at the player's position for the current year as of the end of the restricted free agent signing period on April 22; or (ii) the amount of the required tender for a non-exclusive franchise player, as explained below.       Article 10, Section 2(a)(i) of the CBA sets forth the methodology, known as the “Cap Percentage Average,” for calculating the required tender for a non-exclusive franchise player: The Nonexclusive Franchise Tender shall be a one year NFL Player Contract for (A) the average of the five largest Prior Year Salaries for players at the position . . . at which the Franchise Player participated in the most plays during the prior League Year, which average shall be calculated by: (1) summing the amounts of the Franchise Tags for players at that position for the five preceding League Years; (2) dividing the resulting amount by the sum of the Salary Caps for the five preceding League Years . . . ; and (3) multiplying the resulting percentage by the Salary Cap for the upcoming League Year . . . (the “Cap Percentage Average”) . . . ; or (B) 120% of his Prior Year Salary, whichever is greater . . . .   If a club extends a required tender to a “non-exclusive” franchise player pursuant to this section, the player shall be permitted to negotiate a player contract with any club, except that draft-choice compensation of two first-round draft selections shall be made in the event he signs with a new club. Q.  How many franchise players and transition players can a team designate each season? A.   A club can designate one franchise player or one transition player among its potential restricted or unrestricted free agents.    Q.  Can a club decide to withdraw its franchise or transition designation on a player? A.   Yes.  A club can withdraw its franchise or transition designation, and the player then automatically becomes an unrestricted free agent, either immediately if the tender is withdrawn after the start of the 2022 league year, or when his 2021 contract expires if the tender is withdrawn before the start of the 2022 league year. Q.  What is the salary cap for 2022? A.  The salary cap is $208,200,000 per club. Q.  When must teams be in compliance with the salary cap? A.  At the start of the 2022 league year, which begins at 4:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 16. Q.  If a team is under the salary cap at the end of a given season, can the team “carry over” room to the next season? A.   Yes.  A team may carry over room from one league year to the following league year by submitting notice to the NFL prior to 4:00 p.m. ET on the day following the team’s final regular-season game, indicating the amount of room that the club wishes to carry over. Q.  What is the maximum amount of room that a club can carry over? A.   A club can carry over 100 percent of its remaining 2021 room to its adjusted salary cap for 2022. NFL Announces 39 Compensatory Draft Choices to 16 Clubs ​A total of 39 compensatory draft selections in the 2022 NFL Draft have been awarded to 16 teams, the NFL announced today.  Under the rules for compensatory draft selections, a team losing more or better compensatory free agents (“CFA”) than it acquires in the previous year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks. The compensatory picks will be positioned within the third through seventh rounds based on the value of the compensatory free agents lost. Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors.  The formula was developed by the NFL management council. Not every free agent lost or signed by a club is covered by this formula.  No club may receive more than four compensatory picks in any one year. If a club qualifies for more than four compensatory picks after offsetting each CFA lost by each CFA gained of an equal or higher value, the four highest remaining selections will be awarded to the club. The Collective Bargaining Agreement limits the number of compensatory selections to the number of clubs then in the League (32). This year, one club, the Kansas City Chiefs, qualified for a compensatory selection under the net loss formula but will not receive that pick because the final numerical value of the CFA who was lost ranked 33rd among the final numerical values of all compensatory selections. Kansas City will receive a compensatory selection for one other CFA lost whose final numerical value ranked within the top 32. In addition to the 32 compensatory selections awarded under the net loss formula, seven special compensatory selections were awarded to six clubs: the Cleveland Browns, Baltimore Ravens, New Orleans Saints, San Francisco 49ers (two special compensatory selections), Kansas City Chiefs, and Los Angeles Rams under a 2020 amendment to the League’s Collective Bargaining Agreement, which was agreed upon by the NFL and the NFLPA to promote equal employment opportunities and an inclusive workforce within NFL clubs. This initiative provides that the prior employer-club of a minority employee who has been hired by another club as its head coach or primary football executive (general manager) will receive compensation in the form of a special compensatory draft selection in the third round of each of the next two drafts, or in each of the next three drafts if two minority employees from the employer-club are hired for these positions by another club or clubs. Special compensatory selections are awarded in draft selection order after all other compensatory selections in round three and are denoted with an asterisk in the following table.  The following 2022 compensatory draft picks have been awarded for the 2022 NFL Draft, which will be held on April 28-30 in Las Vegas: Round Round Choice/ Overall Selection Team 3 33-97 Detroit 3 34-98 New Orleans 3 35-99* Cleveland 3 36-100* Baltimore 3 37-101* New Orleans 3 38-102* San Francisco 3 39-103* Kansas City 3 40-104* Los Angeles Rams 3 41-105* San Francisco       4 33-138 Pittsburgh 4 34-139 Baltimore 4 35-140 Green Bay 4 36-141 Baltimore 4 37-142 Los Angeles Rams 4 38-143 Tennessee       5 33-176 Dallas 5 34-177 Detroit 5 35-178 Dallas 5 36-179 Indianapolis       6 33-211 Los Angeles Rams 6 34-212 Los Angeles Rams 6 35-213 Atlanta 6 36-214 Los Angeles Chargers 6 37-215 Arizona 6 38-216 Indianapolis 6 39-217 Detroit 6 40-218 Los Angeles Rams 6 41-219 Tennessee 6 42-220 San Francisco 6 43-221 San Francisco       7 33-254 Los Angeles Chargers 7 34-255 Los Angeles Chargers 7 35-256 Arizona 7 36-257 Arizona 7 37-258 Green Bay 7 38-259 Kansas City 7 39-260 Los Angeles Chargers 7 40-261 Tampa Bay 7 41-262 San Francisco The compensatory free agents lost and gained in 2021 by the clubs that will receive compensatory picks in the 2022 Draft: ARIZONA Lost: Arnold, Dan; Blackson, Angelo; Drake, Kenyan; Peterson, Patrick; Reddick, Haason Gained: Green, A.J.; Prater, Matt   ATLANTA Lost: Mack, Alex; McCray, Justin; Neal, Keanu Gained: Davis, Mike; Patterson, Cordarrelle   BALTIMORE Lost: Judon, Matthew; Ngakoue, Yannick; Ward, Jihad Gained: Watkins, Sammy   DALLAS Lost: Awuzie, Chidobe; Dalton, Andy; Erving, Cameron; Woods, Xavier Gained: Basham, Tarell; Neal, Keanu   DETROIT Lost: Agnew, Jamal; Davis, Jarrad; Golladay, Kenny; Jones, Marvin; Prater, Matt Gained: Perriman, Breshad; Williams, Jamaal   GREEN BAY Lost: Linsley, Corey; Williams, Jamaal Gained:     INDIANAPOLIS Lost: Autry, Denico; Brissett, Jacoby; Walker, Anthony Gained: Tevi, Sam   KANSAS CITY CHIEFS Lost: Kpassagnon, Tanoh; Watkins, Sammy; Wilson, Damien Gained: Thuney, Joe   LOS ANGELES CHARGERS Lost: Feeney, Dan; Henry, Hunter; Jenkins, Rayshawn; Perryman, Denzel; Taylor, Tyrod; Tevi, Sam Gained: Feiler, Matt; Linsley, Corey   LOS ANGELES RAMS Lost: Ebukam, Samson; Everett, Gerald; Fox, Morgan; Hill, Troy; Johnson, John Gained:     NEW ORLEANS Lost: Hendrickson, Trey; Rankins, Sheldon Gained: Kpassagnon, Tanoh   PITTSBURGH Lost: Dupree, Bud; Feiler, Matt; Hilton, Mike Gained: Haeg, Joe; Witherspoon, Ahkello (acquired via trade)   SAN FRANCISCO Lost: Beathard, C.J.; Bourne, Kendrick; Hyder, Kerry; Witherspoon, Ahkello Gained: Ebukam, Samson; Mack, Alex   TAMPA BAY Lost: Haeg, Joe Gained:     TENNESSEE Lost: Clowney, Jadeveon; Davis, Corey; Jones, DaQuan; King, Desmond; Smith, Jonnu Gained: Autry, Denico; Dupree, Bud; Lamm, Kendall 2022 NFL COMPENSATORY DRAFT PICKS* Los Angeles Chargers 4 Los Angeles Rams 4 Arizona 3 Detroit 3 San Francisco 3 Baltimore 2 Dallas 2 Green Bay 2 Indianapolis 2 Tennessee 2 Atlanta 1 Kansas City 1 New Orleans 1 Pittsburgh 1 Tampa Bay 1 TOTAL 32 *Does not include special compensatory selections SUMMARY OF COMPENSATORY DRAFT PICKS, 1994-2022* Baltimore 55 Dallas 49 Green Bay 47 New England 46 Los Angeles Rams 43 Philadelphia 37 Cincinnati 35 Pittsburgh 35 San Francisco 35 Tennessee 33 Seattle 32 Arizona 29 Buffalo 28 Kansas City 28 New York Giants 28 Minnesota 27 Atlanta 25 Indianapolis 25 Los Angeles Chargers 25 Denver 24 Detroit 24 Miami 22 Tampa Bay 22 Las Vegas 21 Carolina 20 Chicago 20 Jacksonville 19 Houston 18 Washington 17 New York Jets 14 Cleveland 13 New Orleans 13 TOTAL 909 NFL Celebrates Women's History Month with Programming Lineup on NFL Network ​ NFL Films Docuseries 'Earnin' It' Airs Throughout the Week on NFL Network Starting TONIGHT at 8:00 PM ET   New Episode of Emmy Award-Winning Series 'NFL 360' – Tuesday, March 8 at 9:00 PM ET   The National Football League celebrates Women's History Month with a programming lineup on NFL Network honoring women and their incredible impact throughout the game of football.
