Tender Is the Night: Colledge, Crosby

[Fritz]

So in this CBA-less world, what do these tenders actually mean?

For instance, if nobody signs Colledge, is he back with the Pack for one more year, then? Or might there be some other outcome.

A round-you-were-drafted-in for Colledge. A second rounder. Would anybody bite on that in a normal year?

I wonder if we tendered James Jones. I would be surprised if we didn't.

[Fritz]

I don't know if he was in a tender situation. No lube for James Jones.

Guys I wanted to see re-signed going into the off-season was Hawk, Jones, Peprah, Crosby, and Kuhn. I'm fine with losing Jenkins, Colledge, Splitz, Bigby, etc.

Now that Hawk and Peprah are signed, I think Jones is the only question mark left. I have a pretty strong feeling Crosby and Kuhn will be back, but I have no idea what they are planning with Jones.

Too many drops in crucial situations. Remove the drops -- Boldin type player. My guess is no tender. Hopefully Swain is also gone -- the Wes Walker comparison never developed.

jones wasn't tendered! colledge, cosby, and kuhn were the only ones.

It's probably meaningless anyway. Chances are Jones will be unrestricted under the terms of the new CBA when it is signed, as will Crosby and Colledge. Under the old CBA, in a capped year, a player with 4 or more years of service was unrestricted.

You are right Palter, but I see gbgary's point. They still didn't tender him, it says something. Why even bother tendering the other three then? I really hope we keep Jones around but the packers don't seem to worried about losing him.

Just curious, do we know for certain that the didn't tender Jones? The info on the three seemed to come from their agents. Did the Packers announce anything? There are a bunch of others, too; like Spitz and Hall. I could see them trying to bring both back at vet minimum salaries.

The interesting one was Swain, who I think was an exclusive rights FA. I've seen nothing about a tender to him, either.

Nevertheless, like most or all teams, the Packers followed through and offered kicker Mason Crosby and guard Daryn Colledge second-round tenders, and running back John Kuhn the lowest tender, according to their agents.

Aside from the five players mentioned, the Packers had six other restricted free agents by the 2010 rules: receiver James Jones, running back Brandon Jackson, center Jason Spitz, safety Charlie Peprah, fullback Korey Hall and safety Anthony Smith. It’s unclear which of these players received tenders, though it’s almost a given Jones and Jackson did.

I'm actually realy surprised they didn't tender Jones. Not even the right of first refusal tender. I can see the other guys not getting tendered because it would have meant a salary higher than the minimum.

According to an NFL source, the Packers placed second-round tenders on guard Daryn Colledge and kicker Mason Crosby and a right-of-first- refusal tender on running back John Kuhn. None of the other free agents - including wide receiver James Jones, running back Brandon Jackson, guard Jason Spitz, fullback Korey Hall and safety Atari Bigby - received tenders.

[Fritz]

So apparently the team has no tender feelings for James Jones. Or Brandon Jackson.

I've read that the reason the team didn't tender Bigby is that they want to get Skin's hopes up that Bigby's finally, finally gone - and then two weeks into camp when Anthony Levine gets hurt, they're going to sign Bigby. A dagger to the heart of SkinBasket, who will feel plagued by Atari Bigby the way some people are plagued by herpes.
