Basically when the season ends and the offseason begins all contracts get reduced by 1 year (Opt outs not withstanding). Anyone with 0 years is a FA for your team.

If a player has less than 3 years of accrued experience in the NFL they are an ERFA for you and you get to sign them to a $500/2 year deal if you want.

If the player has 3 years he is an RFA for you and can assign a tender once RFA Tenders open and then other teams have opportunity to make bids on those players if they wnt.

If a player had 4 accrued years then they are an UFA and you can choose to 3 Up them or let them go to FA.

Guys off the top without doing too much research for you.

UFA - Kirk Cousins, Brissett, Peyton Barber, McKinnon, Patrick Ricard, Dede Westbrook, Jacob Hollister, Jack Doyle, Laremy Tunsil,  Villaneavea, Paradis, Guy, Jayon Brown, Jamie Collins, Elandon Roberts, Alexander, Apple, Gaines, Jenkins, Marcus Maye, 

RFA - Mark Andrews, Chuks Okorafor, Bowser, Ridgeway, Speaks, Young, Jacobs, Avery, Bausby

ERFA - Julian Blackmon, Michaek Ojemudia

 

Note that once the offseason officially begins all of these status will be determined a month or two before you have to make any serious choices. You have until May 31st to use your 3 ups/ERFA tags.

So at any point, so long as you have the cap space, you can sign any of your players who are not Locked to a contract extension equal to 100% of their real-life salary for a number of years equal to their current real-life contract.

At the end of the season, you can pick up to three players whose contracts have ended and extend them at 75% of their real-life salary for a number of years equal to their current real-life contract. These are called 3 Ups and are basically treated like the BDL franchise tag.

For you, Laremy Tunsil is an obvious 3 Up candidate, as he's on a huge IRL deal that you probably don't want to pay in full. You may even want to let him hit free agency; I don't think he's getting 16.5k/year from anyone, but who knows. Matt Paradis is another option.

Unfortunately for you, you also have several players who are on BDL rookie deals that don't match up with their IRL rookie deals. Mark Andrews is the most obvious example; his contract for you is up after this season, but Baltimore still has him under his rookie contract for next season. That means that unless Baltimore gives him an extension before BDL free agency, you can't extend him at 100% (no extensions based on rookie contracts), and you can't 3 Up him for the same reason.

What you instead get to do is offer him a Restricted Free Agent tender at one of 7 levels (different $$ amounts based on the draft pick compensation you would receive if another team signed him to a contract that you didn't match). This means that another team could potentially sign him away from you, especially if they offer him a deal you can't match financially because of a lack of cap space. I think if you sign him to a 1st round tender, nobody is going to make him an offer, but there's always a chance.

There are also ERFAs, which are players with two or fewer NFL seasons that you can resign for 2 seasons at $500/year. This is why people are telling you to go for young players on waivers; you can cost control them for up to three seasons if they're good, or cut them without penalty if they're not.

Also you can double or triple down unlocked players to use up cap space which doesn't roll-over. 

So for example, if you have someone on your roster with a 1600/2 contract who sucks and you have like $20,000 in cap space for the rest of this year, you could down them to use up your excess cap space. So your 1600/2 contract will become a 3200/1 contract and you'll only have $18,400 in cap space left, but you'll also get rid of the contract for next year.

Be aware that this also removes the player from being one of your UFA. So you couldn't resign them and they go directly to FA next season.

Pete, right now, you only need to worry about these two parts.  100% extension and double downs.  But I would be hesitant to use the 100% extension.

1) Do I only get 1?

2) why?

3) does using it count against my "3Ups" in the offseason

So i could double down on John Ross who is 2/$3,775 and Desmond Trufant who is $7,000 and lose 10k in cap space this year but gain it back next year and both those guys would be FA's next year?

Yes, you could double down both and they'd be FAs next year and not count against your cap.
