Thirteen players were tendered a qualifying offer (a one-year, $22.025 million deal for 2026) prior to Thursday’s deadline.

Those players have until 4 p.m. ET on Nov. 18 to accept. Players who accept qualifying offers are signed with their teams for the next season at the designated value. Those who don't accept remain free agents, and if a new team signs them, their old team receives Draft pick compensation.

Since the system was implemented in 2012, only 14 players to receive a QO have accepted it.

Here's a breakdown of the players who received a qualifying offer this year, along with some notable players who didn’t get one and others who were ineligible to receive one.
