Protecting Denver's Free Agents

Other teams can use XLE to sign Denver's unrestricted FAs. Denver must re-sign anyone they want to keep before FA Day 2. Upon submitting an XLE offer, the poaching team forfeits all their own remaining tenure rights. Denver would receive a $15M Replacement Player Exemption (RPE) if a player is poached.
