General Guidelines[edit]

Counting Seasons[edit]

A season is only counted if a player plays one game for the NBA franchise that season. If a player was drafted or signed by a team but did not play a game for the franchise, that would not count. If a player leaves the team and returns, their total seasons are counted. Seasons played only in the franchise's only on the pre-season or practice squad should not count

If a Franchise is relocated, the seasons from the previous location are included. If a team changes their name, the seasons from the previous name and mascot are included. For example, Jackie Slater's time at the original St. Louis Rams and Los Angeles Rams are counted towards his service time.

The list[edit]

To qualify, a player must have ended their career playing at least a game in at least fifteen different NFL seasons for only a single NFL franchise. The seasons do not need to be consecutive. Playing for a franchise outside of the NFL does not disqualify the player from this list. A player serving in another capacity for another franchise does not invalidate their inclusion. Active players included but should be removed once they play a game with another franchise (not when they sign a contract or are traded).

Add new players after week 1 of the 2021 season.

Tracking Active Players who will join the list soon[edit]

Add players who are at fifteen years and the reference.

15 seasons[edit]

The NBA NHL and mlb pages all require just 10 years why 15 for football? 2600:1008:B15E:BDD4:2192:7B09:CD5B:9C45 (talk) 03:48, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

David Binn[edit]

Going by the cited source, he played one playoff game for the Broncos in the 2011 - this should probably disqualify him. Harper J. Cole (talk) 12:39, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
