As the NFL offseason continues to unfold, teams have been making key decisions on restricted free agents (RFAs) and exclusive rights free agents (ERFAs). Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of the latest tender decisions:
Restricted Free Agents (RFAs) – Non-Tendered
The following RFAs have not received tender offers from their respective teams:
- Chicago Bears: Linebacker Jack Sanborn
Despite appearing in 48 games and starting 19 over the last three seasons, the Bears have opted not to tender Sanborn. This decision likely stems from the team’s desire to upgrade their linebacker corps and create cap space.
- Las Vegas Raiders: Wide Receiver DJ Turner
Turner, who primarily played special teams in his first two seasons, has not received a tender offer from the Raiders. This move suggests the team is looking to revamp their special teams unit and create opportunities for younger players.
Exclusive Rights Free Agents (ERFAs) – Tendered
The following ERFAs have received tender offers from their respective teams:
- Cleveland Browns:
- Linebacker Winston Reid
- Tight End Blake Whiteheart
The Browns have opted to bring back both Reid and Whiteheart, who will likely continue in their respective backup roles.
- Dallas Cowboys:
- Defensive Back Juanyeh Thomas
- Offensive Lineman Brock Hoffman
The Cowboys have tendered offers to Thomas and Hoffman, securing their services for the upcoming season. Hoffman, in particular, is expected to play a key role in the team’s offensive line after starting the last seven games of the 2024 season.
- Los Angeles Rams:
- Center Dylan McMahon
The Rams have tendered an offer to McMahon, who will likely continue as a backup center.
Exclusive Rights Free Agents (ERFAs) – Non-Tendered
The following ERFAs have not received tender offers from their respective teams:
- Detroit Lions: Offensive Tackle Connor Galvin
The Lions have opted not to tender Galvin, suggesting the team is looking to upgrade their offensive line depth.
These tender decisions provide insight into each team’s offseason strategy and roster construction plans. As the NFL offseason continues to unfold, more teams will make key decisions on their RFAs and ERFAs, shaping the league’s landscape for the upcoming season.
