NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement

Article 20
Other Provisions

Section 4(c)(vi)
Roster Exemption

(c)(vi)

Any player who is placed on the roster exempt list of his Club pursuant to Section 4(c) shall be entitled to full compensation from his Club for any week in which his Club has a “bye” after the date he reports, but while he is still on the roster exempt list. Thus, any such player may not lose more than three weeks of Paragraph 5 Salary as a result of being placed on the roster exempt list. This Subsection shall not affect the number of regular season games for which the player can be placed on the roster exempt list, and thus for which the player may not play for his Club, in accordance with Subsections (i)–(iii) above. Nothing herein shall affect any right or obligation the player or Club otherwise may have concerning compensation to the player.
