Players will be eligible for UFA if they have an expired contract and four years of service. There was some uncertainty whether or not Chris Houston would be unrestricted a couple months ago but he will be when free agency opens. Cliff Avril will be a RFA because he does not have four years of service. Hope that helps as a quick answer to some of your questions! @kiddet I get the impression that long rookie holdouts are going to be a thing of the past, we’ll have to see how it all works in reality though.

I read your explanation of the Rookie salaries. That should speed up the signing process, no hold outs, right? What constitutes an UFA and a RFA? Are the Lions in jeopardy of losing anyone to free agency? If you've addressed all of this in previous reports I apologize, but I don't know the details. Are there any details of the CBA, yet?
