Okoye, who both spent the 2025 season on the active roster. The NFL uses two different season designations that impact players’ contract status: accrued and credited. An accrued season is one in which a player is on the 53-man roster, injured reserve, or physically unable to perform list for at least six regular season games.

A credited season has the same roster requirements, but for at least three regular season or postseason games. Exclusive rights free agents are players with fewer than three accrued seasons with an expired contract. They can be retained by their most recent team on a one-year contract for a veteran-minimum salary (which is determined by credited ) seasons.

That non-guaranteed price point typically incentivizes teams to keep all of their ERFAs, though sometimes a new coaching staff opts to go in a different direction. The Ravens, though, retained all of their pending ERFAs, who will all receive one-year, $1. 005 million contracts, per OverTheCap .
