ILB Larry Grant (RFA) to be tendered

mmmm tender

2nd round tender is what I am hoping for!

I will get the lower tender and will sign else where and we will get a 7th round pick.

700k different why not go ahead and make sure we get something decent from him.

give him a 2nd round tender, then i hope somebody signs him

This, I want the 2nd round pick.

that would be so awesome if we get a 2nd rd pick!!!! we would do real damage in the draft!!

but will teams believe he is worth a 2nd pick??? eagles? patriots? rams? tampa bay?

I wouldn't be surprised if he got a look from the Eagles or Pats.

It would be pretty stupid not to give him the second round tender. We have the money.

I hope someone signs him too, not just for the pick. But he deserves a chance to start somewhere and we are stacked.

GREAT MOVE! I love it! A team like Philly could end up giving us their 2nd round pick for this guy. He played very well when he got the chance and I think we'll end up either getting something for him or keeping him and I'm fine w/that also. Question, if a team wants him but doesn't have or doesn't want 2 give us a 2nd rounder (if that is the tender he gets) can they negotiate a trade with us for something else?

I believe this is possible. I think the Patriots did something like this with Wes Welker.

1 million percent agree. For 700,000 more you are getting a stud special team player and back up ILB to both Willis and Bowman. To sign him to a long term deal would be more than 2 million a year, so pay the 1.9 million. If another team signs him, match the offer if you think it is a fair offer, if not take the second round pick and be happy.

To tender him for a 7th round pick is worrisome. You would be then hoping to let other teams negotiate his value and then match it, but if you do not, getting only a 7th is like next to no compnesation at all.
