Restricted free agents

Restricted Free Agents are players who have completed three accrued seasons of service and whose contracts have expired. They have received qualifying offers from their old clubs and are free to negotiate with any club until April 21, at which time their rights revert to their original club. If a player accepts an offer from a new club, the old club will have the right to match the offer and retain the player. If the old club elects not to match the offer, it may receive draft-choice compensation depending on the level of the qualifying offer made to the player.

Undrafted free agents

Undrafted Free Agents are players eligible for the NFL Draft but who are not selected; they can join any team willing to sign them and can negotiate with any team.

Unrestricted free agents

Unrestricted Free Agents are players who have completed four or more (six or more in uncapped seasons) accrued seasons of service and whose contracts have expired. They are free to sign with any club.
