**********************

This AFC North Division player movement chart is derived from Spotrac.com’s list of players whose contracts expire when the league signing period begins on March 13. The teams’ lists of unrestricted and restricted free agents are complete, but other roster moves involving lesser-known exclusive-rights free agents may not be reflected here. As transactions involving such players become known, they will be included. Also, players who are released and become street-free agents — the so-called “salary-cap dumps” — will be added to the lists as needed under the “status unresolved” heading.

Restricted and exclusive-rights free agents will be listed as having “re-signed” after receiving tender offers from their clubs, even though those tenders may not have been signed. A tender offer usually means a team intends to keep that player on its roster, although it is sometimes used to gauge interest from other clubs. Usually, draft picks are commensurate with where the free agent in question was initially selected and what a team can expect in return if it loses a restricted free agent. Or, a team can perform an NBA-style sign-and-trade transaction, putting the restricted free agent’s name on a new contract and sending him to another club.

All tendered restricted and exclusive-rights free agents will be indicated as such. If any of those players depart for another team, his name will be moved from the “re-signed” classification to the “free agents lost” category. The deadline for restricted free agents on other teams to sign offer sheets is April 19. Once an offer sheet is signed, the player’s old club has seven days to match the offer, or the offering club immediately assumes his rights. Players will sometimes change teams because they were placed on waivers and signed by other teams. Those moves are also reflected here because any unattached player with NFL experience is, technically, a free agent. Several transactions of that type took place before the league year and free-agent signing period began. Players lost or acquired via trades will also be noted as such.

About Joe Platania

Veteran Ravens correspondent Joe Platania is in his 45th year in sports media (including two CFL seasons when Batlimore had a CFL team) in a career that extends across parts of six decades. Platania covers sports with insight, humor, and a highly prescient eye, and that is why he has made his mark on television, radio, print, online, and in the podcast world. He can be heard frequently on WJZ-FM’s “Vinny And Haynie” show, alongside ex-Washington general manager Vinny Cerrato and Bob Haynie. A former longtime member in good standing of the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association and the Pro Football Writers of America, Platania manned the CFL Stallions beat for The Avenue Newspaper Group of Essex (1994 and ’95) and the Ravens beat since the team’s inception — one of only three local writers to do so — for PressBox, The Avenue, and other local publications and radio stations. A sought-after contributor and host on talk radio and TV, he made numerous appearances on “Inside PressBox” (10:30 a.m. Sundays), and he was heard weekly for eight seasons on the “Purple Pride Report,” WQLL-AM (1370). He has also appeared on WMAR-TV’s “Good Morning Maryland” (2009), Comcast SportsNet’s “Washington Post Live” (2004-06), and WJZ-TV’s “Football Talk” postgame show — with legend Marty Bass (2002-04). Platania is the only sports journalist in Maryland history to have been a finalist for both the annual Sportscaster of the Year award (1998, which he won) and Sportswriter of the Year (2010). He is also a four-time Maryland-Delaware-District of Columbia Press Association award winner. Platania is a graduate of St. Joseph’s (Cockeysville), Calvert Hall College High School, and Towson University, where he earned a degree in Mass Communications. He lives in Cockeysville, MD.
