The Detroit Lions announced on Wednesday that they have tendered 13 exclusive rights free agents (ERFA). An ERFA is a player on an expiring contract who has been accrued two or fewer seasons in the NFL. If a team decides to offer an ERFA a tender, that means they are offering a one-year, typically minimum-salaried contract. The ERFA player can then decide to sign that tender or sit out the 2022 season. They do not have the option of negotiating with another team.
In other words, expect all 13 of the following players to be back in Detroit on a minimum-salary deal.
