• A transition player has received a minimum offer of the average of the top 10 salaries of last season at the player's position or 120 percent of the player's previous year's salary, whichever is greater.
• A transition player designation gives the club a first-refusal right to match within seven days an offer sheet given to the player by another club after his contract expires. If the club matches, it retains the player. If it does not match, it receives no compensation. Transition players can be signed from March 3 through July 22.

Sorry about that - I missed your post - is this what happened to Steve Hutchinson with the Seahawks to the Vikings in that the Vikings made the contract in a way the Seahawks had no chance to match?
