The following players have their contract extended with one year with the Transition Tag:
Gladitor: CB Logan Ryan, NEP - his salary in 2016 is $8.21. He will be UFA in 2017.
Gran Torino: RB Dion Lewis, NEP - his salary in 2016 is $75.66. He will be UFA in 2017.
From the bylaws:
b) Transition Tags:
1) During the off-season, an owner may choose to retain 2 of their current season free agents by using a transition tag.
2) In order to qualify for the transition tag, the player must be on the owner's current season roster and the player's contract will expire on March 1st.
3) If a team owner applies the transition tag to an applicable player, that player automatically signs a 1-year agreement with the team.
4) The transition tagged player will automatically become an Unrestricted Free Agent when his contract expires. This condition still applies if the player is subsequently traded before the August 15th contract extension deadline meaning that this player cannot having his transition tag contract extended.
5) The team will pay the average salary of the top tier of highest paid players in his position for the prior year's salary, or the player's prior year salary plus 20%, whichever is higher. The tiers are defined as follows:
Top 20: QB, TE, DT, PK, PN
Top 30: RB, DE, CB, S
Top 40: WR, LB
