Fox was one of the top punters in the NFL in 2020 and the hope is that he sticks around for a very long time.
In case you were wondering how the exclusive right free agent tender works:
“The ERFA tender applies to any player whose contract is expiring and he has no more than two accrued seasons in the NFL (an accrued season is a season with at least six games on the 90 man roster or one game this year if they were on the teams opening week roster).”
These ERFA offers are for one year, and the players are not permitted to negotiate with any other team.
