A player signed to a reserve/future contract can be added to an NFL team's roster when it expands from 53 to 90 players for the offseason on the first day of the NFL's 2016 calendar – March 9. The newly signed players become eligible to participate in offseason workouts, minicamps and OTAs as team members.
