bobbyjet69 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I noticed Kerry Rhodes not on the free agent list? Is he not a free agent? Did he re-sign? Or does he have 1 more year left on his contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-Mart28 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 He has one more year left on his contract. Wouldnt that make him a restricted free agent? Just curious, I'm not to familiar with how free agency works and I thought that having one year left made you a restricted free agent. Or is that something which is specified in the contract?

RSJ Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I thought he had 2 years left. I believe it's one year left and restricted free agency is for players that sign deals for 3 years or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, I'm not to familiar with how free agency works and I thought that having one year left made you a restricted free agent. Or is that something which is specified in the contract? Not being under contract is what makes a player a free agent. If he has one year left, then he is under contract. But generally, if a team wants to keep the player long-term, they will usually redo his deal when there is one year left. They do this rather than wait until his contract is totally over so they don't have to bid against the other 31 teams. The player is usually agreeable to it b/c it's a sure thing & eliminates the possibility of sustaining a career-ending injury in that last year & ending up with nothing. For this reason, a player will frequently take less than he likely would have gotten if he waited a year until he was a FA. For this reason, even though Rhodes is under contract, there has been so much talk about locking him up long-term this off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhodes has a year left on his deal. Restricted FA is when a player has only 3 years in the league. It means that if his current team provides a qualifying offer, it can match any deal or get draft pick compensation if he signs elsewhere. After 4 years in the league he's an unrestricted FA. After less than 3 years he is an exclusive rights FA that has to resign with the old club is he's offered a tender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
