What Are Exclusive Rights Free Agents?
Players with two or fewer accrued seasons are ERFAs. An accrued season is defined as the following in the NFL CBA:
A player shall receive one Accrued Season for each season during which he was on, or should have been on, full pay status for a total of six or more regular season games, but which, irrespective of the player’s pay status, shall not include games for which the player was on: (i) the Exempt Commissioner Permission List, (ii) the Reserve PUP List as a result of a nonfootball injury, or (iii) a Club’s Practice Squad.
