With which team can an exclusive rights player negotiate?

An exclusive rights player can negotiate only with their prior team, provided that the team has tendered them an offer at or above the minimum salary. This status applies because exclusive rights players are in a unique position: they have less than three accrued seasons and have not signed a contract with another franchise, thus keeping them bound to their previous team unless the team decides not to renew their contract.

In this case, if the team does extend an offer at the minimum salary, the player cannot negotiate with any other team, effectively locking them in with their prior team. This is critical for understanding how player contracts function in the NFL and emphasizes the limited bargaining power of exclusive rights players. The other options presented do not accurately reflect the rules governing exclusive rights players, confirming that their negotiation rights are limited specifically to their previous team under these conditions.
