Kann mir jemand genauer den Zusammenhang mit dem Erscheinen im Trainingscamp und dem UFA bzw. RFA Status genauer aufschlüsseln?
Will his holdout last that long this season?
It could, but that seems unlikely. Because Donald held out of training camp last year, he lost an accrued season toward unrestricted free agency, which requires four seasons. Therefore, if Donald does not report by Aug. 7 -- 30 days before the season opens -- he will lose another accrued season and would be a restricted free agent next winter.How long do the Rams have Donald's rights?
If Donald reports to training camp by Aug. 7, he will become an unrestricted free agent after this season. However, whether he's an unrestricted or restricted free agent, the Rams have the option to franchise tag him for two years at below his market value and then another year at just over his current market value. The Rams basically hold the rights to Donald through the 2021 season.
Dankeschön!
