I bet he gets signed. They're trying to tempt a team into signing him: a second isn't a ton for one cheap year of a top corner if he think he's that.They have the right to match any offer and space to prevent some sort of poison pill from another team. If someone throws wild money at him, they can take the pick but the pick tends to dampen other teams enthusiasm to spend. My guess is he plays under the tender this season.
2021Would the tender pick arrive in the 2021 draft or the 2022 draft? If the former, it could be an asset to try to move up from 1-15 to 1-7 (or 1-4).
I figure either Jackson or Gilmore becomes a second-rounder that generates trade capital, and the other one stays.
A team that tries to sign him won't give him a cheap offer, if they do, Pats match or he declines.I bet he gets signed. They're trying to tempt a team into signing him: a second isn't a ton for one cheap year of a top corner if he think he's that.
They could not sign him outright, but they could trade for him. I think this is what ended up happening with Welker?If a team does not have a 2nd round pick, they are unable to sign Jackson, correct?
I may be wrong but I think they’d have to give up a first.If a team does not have a 2nd round pick, they are unable to sign Jackson, correct?
Exactly they could work out a deal.They could not sign him outright, but they could trade for him. I think this is what ended up happening with Welker?
You can structure the deal so it has a low cap hit in 2021 if you want. You might not.A team that tries to sign him won't give him a cheap offer, if they do, Pats match or he declines.
The signing period for RFAs ends five days before the draft.I was confused by when the draft choice hits, so I did some research. “Unless received two days or later prior to the NFL draft, draft compensation for each tender is due in the same league year as the offer sheet is signed.” So any draft compensation could be 2021 or 2022.
So if JCJ, in this case, doesn’t sign an offer sheet by that deadline, then the tender becomes his contract?The signing period for RFAs ends five days before the draft.
If the Patriots don't match an offer sheet, the second rounder will be in this years draft.
He remains a restricted free agent, but basically unable to sign with another team. RFA's have little leverage at that point; they can either sign their contract or hold out and hope to be traded. If they hold out for the season, they become RFA's again the subsequent offseason, subject to the same rules.So if JCJ, in this case, doesn’t sign an offer sheet by that deadline, then the tender becomes his contract?
