PRO FOOTBALL WEEKLY--COREY WILLIAMS most improved NFL Player

You tag him first (or at least let other teams know that's what you're gonna do).

The minute he signs it I believe you are on the hook for it.

I doubt TT goes that route.

You're on the hook when you sign it, but when you trade the player, his contract goes with him.

Can you even trade a tenderd player? I would think you'd have to sign him....not sure....where's Patler when you need him.

6.7 for one year isn't bad. If I had to make a decision with my limited knowledge of the situation, I'd do it.

He'd have pressure to sign a longer one with a bigger bonus. If not, you get him for one more at age 28. The following year he'll be a 310 lb 29 year old guy. Losing him at that point hurts (you do get a compensitory for losing FA's) but it doesn't hurt as much as a 6 year 36 million dollar deal would. I'm just speculating, but I think he gets that much on the UFA market.

The Packers do have options. They might not have the option to sign him to a fair deal (according to reports) but they do have the franchise option. It buys them one more year of the guys prime.

You can work out the deal, even delay the signing bonus until the new team get him, but the player must sign the tender offer to be traded.

This is true. His salary becomes guaranteed the moment he signs the tender. You can still trade him though, and the new team inherits the salary guarantee.
