NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement

Article 9
Veteran Free Agency

Section 3(e)(iii)
Offer Sheet and Right of First Refusal Procedures

(e)(iii)

Notwithstanding Subsections (i) and (ii) above, no Offer Sheet may contain a Principal Term that would create rights or obligations for the Old Club that differ in any way (including but not limited to the amount of compensation that would be paid, the circumstances in which compensation would be guaranteed, or the circumstances in which other contractual rights would or would not vest) from the rights or obligations that such Principal Term would create for the Club extending the Offer Sheet (i.e., no “poison pills”).
