Damon Harrison signs with New York Giants

[Heismanberg]

nyjets: We've tendered RFA Damon Harrison (2nd round) & Jaiquawn Jarrett (original).

Should've given him 1st round tender

[Heismanberg]

nyjets: By league rules, because Harrison was tendered at 2nd round level, #Jets would receive 3rd round compensation if another team signs Jarrett.

Jarrett was a second rounder.  I guess we're keeping him in 2015.

I don't see how the Patriots don't look seriously at giving up pick #64 to go some way towards filling the Wilfork sized hole in their line.

[Heismanberg]

RichCimini: For Harrison, the second-round tender is $2.356M. Would've cost them $3.352M for a first-round tender. #nyj

Do we/Snacks have right of refusal?

Do we/Snacks have right of refusal?

I don't know, but someone needs to find out.

[Matt4776]

With all of our cap-space, are we really concerned over the 1M difference between a 2nd and a 1st round tender?

Right of first refusal is one of the automatic aspects of tendering a RFA.

I actually think this is a smart play. If a team offers a reasonable deal you match it and prohibit snacks from holding out and seeking more money.  If the offer is ludicrous you get a good pick that can be used in a deep dline class to reload and you resign Ellis.

Yeah, but what is break point.  Chances are that it is more than the $3.3 Million per, right?  Why not high tender him for that, and if he gets an offer, you could take the first round pick.

I can see it now.  We let Snacks go for a 2nd, draft Danny Shelton at #6, and proceed to endure the wrath of Italian Seafood for the next ten years.

Because no one is making an offer for snacks for a 1st.  It's not happening.

With a second round tender there's atleast a chance.  If we didn't have 3 studs on the slime I'd agree with you, but the chances of us resigning all three of them is slim.  I'd rather have wilk and rich than snacks.
