Who are the players who received the transfer mark?
the Franchise mark It is a classification that NFL teams may use to retain one player as an unrestricted free agent and sign him to a set contract for one more year. There are exclusive and non-exclusive tags.
What are exclusive versus non-exclusive franchise marks?
Exclusive labels This means that the contract must not be less than the average of the five highest salaries at that player’s position or 120% of the player’s salary in the previous season, whichever is greater. This also means that the player is not allowed to negotiate with other teams and may not sign with another team if the offer is rejected.
Non-exclusive marks This means that the contract must not be less than the average of the top five matches in that player’s position or 120% of the player’s salary in the previous season, whichever is greater. Unlike an exclusive tag, a player is allowed to negotiate with other teams, and if he receives an offer, his current team has a chance to match. If a team elects not to match, they are entitled to draft compensation equivalent to two first-round picks from the signing team.
