I'm not good with wording these kind of technicalities but is this something that we might need to define in the guidelines for future cases?

TedLavie Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 1 minute ago, Counselor said: He’s not a RFA as he signed a long term deal that’s why Spotrac states that he would be a RFA in 2020 because they scratched his 2019 as part of the extension. He was on a standard rookie contract from the moment he signed his rookie deal after being drafted in the second round by the cowboys. I don't think that's the case. Nfl.com also shows him as a 3rd year player. Again this is all new to me but I think Smith is indeed a RFA. We should compare his spotrac contract with another player who got extended after his rookie year. Wentz maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get how that contract was worked out like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By our leagues sake, he's got 3 years experience so he qualifies as a RFA. But in the same breathe, he's got a new contract with multiple years left on it so does that mess up his RFA eligibility.

RFA can be nearly any offer cus there is no new contract to base it off of. But in this case there is and UFA would have to be 50%. Weird gray area.

I was very surprised about that too but spotrac is our contract Bible and shows that indeed Smith is a RFA. I find that weird af. Anzalone isn't Woo hoo!

No. Basically you can choose to RFA him, or because it's no longer his rookie deal, you can three up him.
