Adam Teicher, of the Kansas City Star, reports the Kansas City Chiefs have tendered a one-year, $656,000 offer to restricted free agent LB Scott Fujita.

Why all the same salary? Is that league minumum or something? (pardon my ignorance)

I really don't think it's a great idea to lowball our OLB when we're already needing starters at MLB and OLB on the other side.

While Fuj isn't a probowl player he's solid.

yes..vet minimum.

Yeah, I believe that's the minimum.

That's not lowballing him, that's the midlevel tender, where'd we have right of first refusal and would recoup a draft pick if he goes. I don't think he requires the top-level one.

So Fujita is of the same value to us as a back-up safety? Seems like an insulting offer to me.

No one on D can feel insulted. They all collected paychecks last year. Fortunate is more like it.

If another FS isn't found, Harts should take Woods' starting job away next season. Permanently.

It's not a matter of making an offer, the different level tenders are established by the NFL. It's sort of a smaller version of a franchise or transition tag.

. . . Restricted free agency: From March 2 through a week before the draft, players with three years of experience can shop their services, but teams that sign them may have to pay a price related to the round in which the player was picked when he came into the league. For example, a former third-round choice requires third-round compensation from the signing team. Teams that are losing a player, though, have a week to match a restricted offer sheet. Restricted free agents are offered a one-year tender at $656,000. Teams can further restrict movement of these players by increasing the tenders. By offering $1.430 million, the team can't lose that player unless they receive a first-round choice. For $1.906 million, the team puts the player's price at first- and third-round choices. A more exclusive tender has been created to prevent movement of a player with three years experience. It's rarely used, but it would count $2.406 million against the cap. . . . .

I like these offers, and like the fact they're not offering Easy a contract :thumb:

Fujita
 

Don't mistake approaching average, for "solid". Who was "solid" on that defense last year, and how would anybody know?

Nobody from that group deserves a raise! Get serious.

Exactly.

Thanks for posting that, I was in the process of looking up something like that myself.

Great info. Rep.

So does that mean that Fujita can't turn the offer down? And if he can't, the only way he doesn't get paid that tender is if some other team aggressivley pursues him, correct?

Well, that's Carl for ya!

Lets all have a moment of silence out of respect for Titus.

I'm under the assumption that Fujita has to agree to and sign the tender offer. Once he does that, his agent can try to market him to other teams. Basically, he's a chief for one more season (until UFA) at that offer unless another team structures a contract that we can't or won't meet, in which case we'd recoup a 5th round pick.

Okay, good. I hope we can keep him. Losing him after locking up all those bums last year would piss me off.

Im riding a rollercoaster of emotions today...the loss of Easy would be devastating!!!!!1111oneone

I'm not sure if you remember, but when we tried to sign Warrick Holdman from Chicago a few years ago, he was a RFA under a tender like Fujita's. What we tried to do (and failed) was to structure a contract with a so-called "poison pill" bonus package that the Bears wouldn't want to match. They did, of course.

I just don't think Fujita is someone that will be pursued by too many other squads. We sign RFAs like this every year, and keep them all.
