- This is the old way, for players selected in rounds 3-7. If they play in 35% of the snaps in two of three seasons, or 35% of the team’s cumulative snaps over three seasons, they get the PPE.
- The expansion in this category is that second round picks are now included. They just have a different threshold: 60% of the snaps are required.
- For players earning the Level 1 PPE, their base salary in the final year of their contract will increase to the original round tender amount of $3.116 million.
- This is a new category altogether, and it includes players from rounds 2-7. If they participated in 55% of the team’s snaps in all three seasons, they earn the Level 2 PPE.
- The Level 2 PPE is very similar to the Level 1 PPE financially: it is the same amount ($3.116 million), plus $250,000. Therefore, their base salary would be $3.366 million.
- This is also a new category, and it’s the most lucrative one. If a player from rounds 2-7 is nominated to the Pro Bowl on the original ballot in any of their first three seasons, they earn the Level 3 PPE.
- The Level 3 PPE is worth the equivalent of a second-round RFA tender, which would equate to $4.89 million this year.
