The transition tag has some restrictions. If that player signs a contract, the club can’t use this tag till its expiration. The exception is when the player signs a one-year contract based on the transition offer sheet with a salary close to the top ten players on that position.
Despite of the advantages and guarantees, this type of contract is rare in the league. The reasons are the difficulties for clubs to preserve their salary caps and bad players’ reactions to this type of deal. They limit chances to get the largest perspective contract.
