I don't guess we would.
So then we should be able to tender him and not have to give him a contract right now? Basicly giving us a year to work out a long term deal?

Assuming he signs the tender, which he won't. I think the highest tender for a 4 year player is around $1.75 mill. He's gonna want a bunch of guaranteed money up front with a contract that averages $3M over the life of the deal.
