NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement

Article 10
Franchise and Transition Players

Section 2(i)
Required Tender for Franchise Players

(i)

The definition of a “signing bonus” for this Article is the same as that in Article 13. The pro rata portion of such signing bonuses includes prorated amounts from prior Player Contracts; the Salary Cap acceleration rules for unamortized signing bonus amounts do not apply to the calculation of the Franchise and Transition Tenders.
