An issue came up recently where a player in the midst of RFA, who is currently less than 3 years in the league received a 2nd RFA offer.
I know in the NFL there is a ERFA classification as well.
Quite simple, should a player receive a second RFA offer if it falls within the league definition of a RFA offer.

I would say no unless you separate the RFA tags. In the NFL the ERFA tag is only available for players with 1-2 years of experience and no other team can bid on them. It is Exclusive right free agent. Then RFA has is for players with less than 3 years experience. For RFA other teams can make offers for the player and give pick compensation. The two tags have very different rules pertaining to them. Because of the differences, I feel like we shouldn't have the ability to give multiple RFA status to a player. I am obviously in the minority here but thought I would state my case. I will also say that I realize it's not that big of a deal and would be fine if it was allowed. My thoughts are basically trying to keep the league as close to the NFL as possible.

Are you sure that a player can't have a second RFA if his first RFA contract is terminated early. As long as the length of contracts and years accrued doesn't exceed 3 years
Maybe we should consider ERFA here as it's part of the NFL.

That is kind of what I am saying. If we do two RFA tags maybe we need to separate them since the nfl has two very different RFA tags. It would make sense if you sign a young player to a 1 year ERFA contract then if he shows good signs you can sign him to a 2 year RFA contract and still get pick compensation. If we had the two different tags how would tender prices work or resigning the ERFA? That is my only question with it. Teams cannot bid on ERFA so would it have its own tender? My suggestion would be maybe you just do a percentage, like to resign ERFA you just pay 30% above previous contract. Then they would go to RFA and have the tenders.

If you offer a one year contract to a UDFA say then ERFA is attached. But what if you offer a 3 yr RFA contract and then waive said player in final cuts say and that player is not claimed off waivers. If he then gets another contract that should have RFA attached if it still falls into the 3 yr limit.
Is that not the way it works? Or even he sits on the PS for season then cut

Yes if he gets claimed he would have the same contract so it would be fine. I was talking about signing a player.
What I’m saying is you can sign a player to a 1-2 year contract with ERFA then resign them with a % increase of previous year contract with RFA status where he could be available for bids and pick compensation

ERFA would be an interesting add but I still think it legal for a player to have two RFA contracts in the NFL, without ever having an EFA one.

I could be wrong for sure, I am not positive if a player has to have ERFA, I am merely pointing out that it does work that way and it would be a cool addition if we did it that way. The ERFA process makes more sense to me then just having a player go through RFA twice but perhaps I’m overthinking it
