NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement
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.
