Restricted Free Agent Tenders Issued

Friday the Packers announced which restricted free agents would be receiving tenders.

2nd round tenders were issued to G Daryn Colledge and K Mason Crosby. This means that the Packers have an option to match a rivaling bid from whichever (if any) team extends contact to these players. If the Packers Decline to match the bid the team will be compensated with a 2nd round draft pick. 


The lowest tender was issued to FB John Kuhn. By using this tender, if the Packers chose not to match a contract offer they would receive compensation of  a draft pick in the round the player was originally selected. As Kuhn was undrafted Green Bay would receive no compensation. 


No tenders were issued to WR James Jones, RB Brandon Jackson, SS Atari Bigby, FB Korey Hall and C/G Jason Spitz. All of these players now become unrestricted free agents and are able to test the open market when the new CBA is agreed upon.
