The Miami Dolphins announced on Tuesday they had placed tenders on running back Salvon Ahmed and defensive back Elijah Campbell. Both players are exclusive rights free agents and the Dolphins now retain their rights for another season. The ERFA tender is a league minimum, one-year, non-guaranteed contract and, once the tender has been offered, the player cannot negotiate with any other team.
Players are considered “exclusive rights free agents” when they have an expiring contract, but have two- or fewer accrued seasons in the NFL. To achieve an accrued season, a player must be on the 53-man roster for six games during the year.
