Below is a Team By Team List of available Restricted Free Agents.
Teams have the options to designate one player as a Restricted Free Agent in the 2024/2025 offseason. If you don't see a player's name on here, please feel free to reach out to me as to why.
A reminder on RFA rules:
RFA Rules
1. Teams can designate 1 player a year as a Restricted Free Agent (RFA), if they choose. Teams can only designate 1 player as an RFA per offseason.
2. A player can't be made an RFA in consecutive offseasons, i.e. 2022/23 and 2023/24
3. RFA bidding acts as normal free agency bidding. Bids must increase by increments of at least 100k. Max bids (max 6 years, max 30M) remain the same.
4. The original team places the first bid which must be at least 1 year, 100k and can be anywhere up to the max bid of 6 / 30M.
5. If a team designates a player as RFA and no other teams bid, they are obligated to sign that player for their initial bid.
6. If a different team wins the bidding for the RFA player, the original team has the option to match the winning bid and keep the player. The bid must be matched within 24 hours of the final, winning bid.
7. If the original team does not match the bid they receive a compensation draft pick from the team that won the bidding for the player in the next year's draft
8. If the original team keeps the RFA, no draft pick is rewarded
9. A player who has been extended cannot be designated as an RFA when their contract is expiring
10. A player must be on the team at the end of the regular season to be RFA eligible. The player’s “rights” are not tradeable after the trade deadline.
Pick Rules
The round for the pick that the team has to give up (if the original team does not match the bid for their RFA) is determined by where the player ranked in points on ESPN, not by the final $$ bidding amount:
Player ranked 1-25= 1st round pick
Player ranked 25-75 = 2nd round pick
Player ranked 76-125 = 3rd round pick
Player ranked 126-200 = 4th round pick
Player ranked 201-300 = 5th round pick
Player ranked 300+ = No pick provided
Teams will give up their own picks by default - if they do not have their own pick they must get another pick (depending on the round) and provide that pick.
If a team has more than one pick in a round - multiple picks that are not their own - the team losing their RFA chooses which team's pick they want. This choice is made at the time the RFA is signed, not during / after the season. Teams have 24 hours to choose the pick, if not the team who signed the player will choose which pick to provide.
Please post the RFA you designate (if you choose) within this thread.
