Basically it's an appraisal of a players performance from the previous season.  \n\nFor instance if a player has a good season, and wants more money during contractural negotiations (until a player receives veteran benefits after 5 years, there is a salary structure) he can take his case in front of an arbiter and they will compare statistics to other players with similar contracts and statistics.  \n\nThe arbiter will decide what the proper salary for the player shall be.  It's important because it allows the players to earn more money.

The following is what Wikipedia has to say...\n\n"In football, a red card is shown by a referee to signify that a player has been sent off following serious misconduct.\n\nA player who has been sent off is required to leave the field of play immediately and must take no further part in the game. The player who has been sent off cannot be replaced during the game; their team must continue the game with one player less.\n\nLaw 12 of the Laws of the Game (which are set by the International Football Association Board and used by the sport's international governing body FIFA) lists the categories of misconduct for which a player may be sent off. Broadly these are:\n\nSerious foul play. This includes a tackle that endangers the safety of an opponent. \nViolent conduct \nSpitting at anyone \nA deliberate hand ball to deny an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by any player other than a goalkeeper in his own penalty area \nCommitting an offence that denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity (informally known as a professional foul) \nUsing offensive, insulting or abusive language or gestures \nReceiving a second caution (yellow card) in one game \n============================================================\nIn football, a yellow card is shown by the referee to indicate that a player has been officially cautioned. The player's details are then (traditionally) recorded by the referee in a small notebook; hence a caution is also known as a booking.\n\nA player who has been cautioned may continue playing in the game. However, a player who receives a second caution in a match is sent off (shown first the yellow card again, and then a red card), meaning that he must leave the field immediately, take no further part in the game, and that he may not be replaced.\n\nLaw XII of the Laws of the Game (which are set by the International Football Association Board and used by FIFA) lists the categories of offences that may result in a caution. Broadly these are:\n\nUnsporting behaviour \nDissent by word or action \nPersistently infringing the Laws of the Game \nDelaying the restart of play \nFailing to respect the required distance of a corner kick or free kick \nEntering or re-entering the field of play without the referee’s permission \nDeliberately leaving the field of play without the referee’s permission "

That is a legal term used in wrongful termination cases. It means that while the company didn't actually terminate you, they did put you in a situation that basically amounted to a discharge. Or they change your working conditions such that you have no choice other than to quit.

A free agent is a player whose contract has expired and is eligible to sign with another team. A restricted free agent is a player for whom another team can make an offer, but his current team is allowed to match that offer. If the current team chooses not to match the offer, it may receive compensation in the form of a draft choice. The NFL awards compensatory picks based on the net loss of restricted free agents. The limit for compensatory picks is four per team. \n\nThe supplemental draft is held after the draft and its more like a auction teams bid for players using the following year's draft pick. if you believe a player is 1st round material in the supplemental draft you bid your 1st rd pick from next year and if you win the player you lose the spot you picked that player at for the following year's draft. The NY Giants did this years ago with Dave Brown. They used a 1st Rd pick in the Supplemental Draft to select hom and did not have a 1st RD pick in the regular draft the following season.

Exactly right.... sometimes, as part of the conditions of a trade, the player's former team will agree to pay a portion of his salary, while his new team pays him the rest.\n\nIt has nothing to do with the player, in the sense that he has no say about who pays him... it's just whatever the clubs agree to when the trade is made.\n\nIf a team makes some bad deals, they can sometimes end up paying millions of dollars a year to players who are not even in the league anymore, because of careers ended prematurely by injury or other factors.

Injury settlements are usually a reduction of the players actual salary agreed upon in their contract.  So whatever the settlement amount is determined - it will be applied toward the salary cap.  It has NEVER cost more for a team to pay a player a settlement than what they were going to play that player anyway.

The current collective bargaining agreement runs through the 2007 season.  The rules for the last 2 years of the current agreement are somewhat different than in the earlier years, however, and could change which players have jobs and how much they are paid.\n\nThe earliest there could be a work stoppage would be the 2008 season.  Whether this would be a strike or a lockout is subject to speculation.  It would be possible for the owners to de-certify the NFLPA as a union and sign separate contracts with each player.  This could lead to replacement games similar to those in 1987.  There is also a possibility of a Federal anti-trust lawsuit shutting down the NFL if there is no agreement prior to the 2008 season.

They have been calling it alot this year.  It further prevents defensive players from making a tackle and just laying on the opposing player running down the clock.  \n\nGood rule, but in this instance it was a bad flag.

The NFL has a contract with Reebok which requires the players and coaches to wear their apparel. The NFL receives a lot of money from Reebok for this.

Possibly your league could have been deleted by the league commissioner or something like that.

Last year he was a back-up for the Raiders.  He currently is not on any team roster, and he isn't listed as a free agent.  I think he is done and retried.  He made enough money and probably doesn't want to play.  Plus he hasn't played in a game for a few years, so no one wants him anyway.
