Please explain what a 'future contract' means.  Is it simply a commitment on both sides to explore whether the team is interested in bringing the player to training camp?

 

Thx.  pro

They have a minimum contract for young players that gets them into training camp. They are officially on a roster and don’t need to wait until standard veteran free agency.

 

Generally it’s guys from a practice squad or simply not on a roster at the end of the season.

This is a weird subtle difference, and something you're going to make fun of me about mentioning (rightfully so), but - 

 

Since Cowden took over, player positions have been listed officially with far more specificity. It was always "DB" before, but Cowden is more precise in listing players as a CB or S base position - for instance, since Shyheim Carter has been back this second stint with the team, he's now listed as a "CB" instead of "DB." He also separates DT from DL, and changed Okuayinonu from "DL" to "OLB" 

 

I think Robinson probably went over the top with "strategic secrecy" on some things, like this. 

 

And on that theme, he also went overboard with deceit when it came to managing the "official visit list" for the draft - in some cases wasting official interviews on players just as a diversion.

Takes affect when the new league year begins. Usually contracts signed in Jan/Feb for the following league year (beginning in March) for non playoff teams are called "futures" contracts.
