You place a tender on a player and then another team has to give up their draft pick in that round to sign them. A second round tender would mean a team gives us their 2nd round pick and then gets to shell out money for a contract.

Right but what is the difference between the 3 other than the round? Does the player make less money if no other team signs him? Like if we were to tag hardy with a 2nd or 3rd do we pay less money to him than a first rd tender?

You can only place a tender on a player that will be a Restricted FA...  Not all players qualify for it...  In Hardy's case, I don't believe he will be restricted, so we wouldn't be able to tender an offer that is tied to draft compensation...

 

I am also unsure whether or not the current CBA allows for RFA's anymore...  Maybe someone can help me out on that one...

RFA meaning 5+ years in the league?

So we cant tag hardy at all or we just cant get a draft.pick if some one signs him

It's definitely confusing...  Still confuses me...

 

In the National Football League, a restricted free agent (RFA) is one with three accrued seasons (six or more regular season games with a team)^[1] of service, who has received a "qualifying" offer (a salary level predetermined by the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the league and its players, known as a "tender") from his current club. He can negotiate with any club through a certain date. If the restricted free agent accepts an offer sheet from a new club, his old club has "right of first refusal," a five-day period in which it may match the offer and retain him, or choose not to match the offer, in which case it may receive one or more draft picks for the upcoming draft from the player's new club. If an offer sheet is not executed, the player's rights revert to his old club the day after negotiations must end.

Tender amounts[edit]

In 2007, a second-round tender offer was added, and after the 2011 lockout, the top tender was removed. The three tender amounts for 2013 are as follows:^[2]

 

Tender amount Compensation required $2.879 million First-round $2.023 million Second-round $1.323 million Determined by RFA's original draft status (see below)

 

Each player that signs a tender receives the one-year salary that corresponds to the tender level. Teams which choose not to match an offer on a player with a low tender receive a draft pick corresponding to the round in which the player was originally drafted (except that the highest pick that can be surrendered for such a tender is a second-round pick). For example, a player who was originally drafted in the sixth round of the NFL Draft would force the team signing him to give his former team a sixth-round pick in the upcoming draft as compensation for his service. No compensation is required for an undrafted player on the lowest tender amount, so teams with valued undrafted RFAs are taking a notable risk by offering such tenders. (The top tender prior to 2011 required first- and third-round picks as compensation.)

See if that helps any =)

 

We can tie compensation to Hardy, but we'd have to do it with a franchise tag, I believe...

There are tenders for the 1st, 2nd, and the round which the player was drafted. Being that Hardy was drafted in the sixth, there's a good chance that last tender would be matched. You could also consider the exclusive and non-exclusive franchise tags as tenders.

Each tender can be placed on any UFA (who last played for your team) who has accrued 3 seasons to make them a RFA. The tenders cost more the earlier the round.

and didn't we draft him in the 6th?  so we'd only be getting a sixth for him...that would suck.  He's having a very good

year.  Getty loves the lines, he's gonna hate to watch Hardy leave.  This is a tough situation.

No you sign him to a 1st round tender so if a RFA signs an offer sheet with another team that team has to give up a 1st not a 6th.

PITT WR Emannual Sanders was given a 3rd round tender by Pitt this past off season. The Patriots signed him to an offer sheet so the Patriots were prepared to give up a 3rd rounder for him. Something happened with the offer that voided it cannot remember.

He can be franchised, or you can assign him a 1st, 2nd, or round drafted (6th for Hardy) tender.
