tender, per reportVincent Carchietta-USA TODAY SportsExclusive-rights free
agency is a bit of an afterthought in the NFL. Players with fewer than three
accrued seasons of experience have little to no negotiating power under the
league’s current collective bargaining agreement, as they remain entirely under

Youth Ka'dar Hollman Jersey , it is notable any time a player signs a contract, and that happened today with Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jake Kumerow. Despite
entering the NFL in 2015, Kumerow has just one season of experience accrued
towards free agency, and with his contract up in 2019, the Packers used an
exclusive-rights tender on him for the upcoming season — essentially a one-year
contract at the player’s league-minimum salary. For someone with one year of

timing of the signing is notable; the Packers begin their offseason workout
program on Monday, and without signing the tender, Kumerow may have been unable
to participate on day one.The Packers used five tenders on ERFA players in 2019,
and Kumerow is the second reported player to sign his

Monday.A player must spend six games on either injured reserve or the 53-man
roster in a single season in order to collect an accrued season towards free
agency. Kumerow spent the first half of the year on injured reserve in 2018,
then played in the Packers’ final five games, hitting those qualifications. He
did spend a brief time on IR with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2016
