Please, post only Franchise Tag, RFA and ERFA tenders here.

Franchise Tag -
A franchise player must be offered a one-year contract for an amount no less than the average of the top five salaries at the player's position as of the current year in which the tag will apply, or 120 percent of the player's previous year's salary, whichever is greater(the NFL formula also includes adjusting for the increase in cap).

Shaquil Barrett OLB 2nd Round Tender $2,927,236
Matt Paradis C 2nd Round Tender $2,927,236

These numbers are different from the ones in the PM which Tim sent around:

First Round - $4,426,032
Second Round - $2,927,236
Original Round - $1,915,602

 

How are you feeling that you're now a solid $22k poorer?

 

RFA: AJ McCarran 2nd Round Tender $2,927,236

The real question is who will be the first to be auto correctes to Tinder.

 

NEW YORK JETS
RFA:
Quincy Enunwa (WR) - 2nd Round Tender $2,927,236

ERFA:
Eric Tomlinson (TE) - $630,000

 

The Giants have placed a 2nd round tender on Center, Brett Jones -- $2,927,236.

The Giants also just realized this spreadsheet doesn't have formula's and got very sad.

*Edit*
The Giants have signed the following ERFA

Jon Halapio -- $555,000
Robert Thomas -- $630,000
Travis Rudolph -- $555,000

 

If we see that everything works out well for this season using the spreadsheets, then I will see what I can do about adding that in.

 

I will probably add them on the fly over time but I had a system I used last year to track everything. I may dust off that sheet and use it for personal use and then update my google sheet on the fly.

 

That's what I did. My google sheet has all the formulas now. I even added a tab for the entire roster on one page just to make things easier for me.

 

Buffalo Bills

ERFA - Nick O'Leary (TE) - $480,000
ERFA - Eddie Yarbrough (DE) - $480,000

 

RFA - Tyrell Williams (WR) - $525,000.00

ERFA - Trevor Williams (CB) - $540,000.00
ERFA - Russell Hansbrough (RB) - $540,000.00

 

I have a couple of questions about this:

Because Tyrell is a RFA shouldn't the cap number be $1,915,602 rather than $525,000?

Also, because Tyrell was taken as an UDFA, what compensation would be required if another GM was to get the player in Free Agency?

 

@LAOJoe

I'm literally gonna beg for help on this one, lol. I need to take a nap...

 

I thought that number seemed low. lol! I'm trying to learn on the fly here...Did I do the ERFA tenders correctly?

 

I do know there is no compensation required if they get the RFA tag equivalent of an UDFA.

And I'll need someone to confirm it for me, but yes, I believe the dollar amount has to be the the one inline with the RFA/UDFA amount.

 

I'm still trying to work it out too lol! I think the RFA cap numbers are based off the numbers in the first message and the tender you place on them.

ERFA tenders seem correct to me but I'm not 100% sure to be honest.

 

I believe Williams should be $555,000 and Hansbrough should be $480,000.

 

If you're tagging him as an UDFA, you will need to use the original round tender.
Original Round - $1,915,602

Don't worry, TD. There's no test or grade at the end of all this, lol.

 

I think you solved it yourselves with the original round no comp tender. Right?
