Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 822561">Besides Brown and McCray, exclusive rights FAs include Kumerow, Gilbert, Tonyan and Patrick.ERFAs have no bargaining power.  They must take what the team offers or sit out the season.  Consequently they are quite inexpensive.  McCray's $645,000 is the league minimum for a player with 2 years accrued service.  It's the lowest amount he could be paid under the CBA.I would expect all of these guys to be tendered for something at or close to their minimums.I wouldn't take an ERFA signing to mean anything other than they want the guy on the 90 man camp roster.  There's typically no guaranteed money in these contracts.  The only consequence of any one of these signings at this point is, for example, McCray's $645,000 moves him into the top 51, $150,000 more than the 1st. year minimum of a guy who rolls off the top 51.I don't believe any of the other 5 have even 2 years accrued service, and if I'm not mistaken Kumerow's minimum would be $495,000, same as first year player, since he does not have a full year of accrued service.In other words, the consequence of signing these players is little different from having already signed the guys at the bottom of this list:<a href="https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/green-bay-packers/" target="_blank">https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/green-bay-packers/</a></blockquote>
