Everything You Need to Know About NFL Futures Contracts
Ty Schalter - February 4, 2014
The phrase "futures contract" sounds like it involves investors, day traders, gold bars and pork bellies. In the NFL, though, a futures contract isn't anything like Arian Foster's misguided attempt to sell stock in himself.
Instead, NFL teams use futures contracts to claim the rights to players they think will be able to make some noise in the upcoming season.
Just after the 2013 regular season ended, clubs started signing futures contracts like crazy, whether they were practicing for the playoffs or taking part in their local golf league.
What are futures contracts, how do they work and which players have been signed to them?
Here's everything you need to know about these deals and how they'll impact your favorite team this offseason.
What's a Futures Contract?
It's the same as a regular active-roster contract, with the regular rules for minimum veteran salaries, cap charges, signing bonuses, etc. The only difference is that it doesn't take effect until the start of the next League Year (this year, that's March 11 at 4 p.m, per CBS Sports).
Teams can sign players to futures contracts as soon as the previous regular season is over, but the contract won't count against the salary cap or 53-man limit. Instead, it'll count against the salary cap and 90-man camp limit of the following season.
In the meantime, the player goes on the reserve/futures list and can't be signed by any other team.
Who's Eligible for a Futures Contract?
Any player who wasn't on an active roster at the end of the outgoing regular season, according to Andrew Brandt of NationalFootballPost.com. So, if a player was an unrestricted free agent or on any team's practice squad, after Week 17, they can be signed to a futures contract.
Here's the rub of the futures contract: For the most part, they're used on players who weren't quite good enough to justify an active roster spot this season but who teams think just might be worth an active roster spot next season. In many cases, this means teams locking up players currently on their own practice squad or another team's.
Brandt explained that this is a great way of locking up talented young guys on the cusp of breaking out. When he was vice president of the Green Bay Packers, he signed defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins, now of the New York Giants, to a futures deal.
Since practice-squad players can be poached by any team willing to sign them to an active contract, a futures deal ensures they'll be in the fold once OTAs and training camp roll around—peace of mind for front offices that would rather be concentrating on keeping its top talent and wooing key veterans at the start of free agency, not scrapping over players who may not make the team.
There's no limit to how many futures contracts a team can sign, as long as it will be under the 90-man roster cap at the beginning of the league year.

Hmmm, two TE's. Very interesting.

Why? I don't think we are going to keep him. He is due to make 6 mil next year. I like the guy, but from a dollar and "sense" standpoint, I doubt we do.

No roster to move.. But Shefty thinks were getting closer to a true total cap number for 2021..
Though the NFL’s salary cap is not expected to be officially set until next month, league sources believe it will be *roughly $180-$181 million*. Throughout the past season, many expected it to be around $175 million, but it now is projected to come in slightly higher, per sources. -

Maybe we wanted to keep him but not at what he was making. If he wasn't keen on a reworked deal, cut him, if nobody claims him, his attitude about a new deal has changed.

More than anything else need to see him "do it again" with his focus on the D-side this time...
Loved this bit from the article's opening...
At the end of January of last year, Andrew Berry was announced as the new GM. A new nameplate was ordered for the office door, slid out of its slot which read “John Dorsey” on the exterior, and when flipped over it said “Sashi Brown” in engraved letters.

With the salary cap set to drop, the #Browns don't plan to tender CB and special teams ace Tavierre Thomas, source said. Thomas would've been a restricted free agent. Instead, he'll hit the market. Look for similar moves elsewhere.
