The Green Bay Packers have five exclusive rights free agents this offseason.
If the Packers decide to offer an ERFA tender, which is a one-year deal, to the player, they are unable to negotiate a long-term contract with any other team. That’s how it differs from restricted free agents, who can still sign an offer sheet with other NFL teams.
Whereas the Packers have some tough decisions to make in free agency, it should be fairly straight forward with their exclusive rights free agents.
