typhoon2285 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Idk when a tender is up (idk how tenders work) but when it is up should we make a push for him? hes a young wideout who can stay with luck for at least half of lucks career , he would prolly be a bit costly but if we signed him that would mean we wouldnt have to go recever in the 2nd or 3rd round nd we can get a cb and a te with those picks. idk thoughts?

21isSuperman Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 when is a tender up tho?? like after the draft when our 1st is gone can we sign him thenI don't think that'll work. The deadline is probably before then; the league has it figured out so teams don't do that. And no, we shouldn't go after him because our first rounder is 1st overall and we need Luck more than we need Wallace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UndecidedFrog Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 when is a tender up tho?? like after the draft when our 1st is gone can we sign him thenI think you need to read up on what restricted free agency is all about:From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restricted_free_agentIn the National Football League, a restricted free agent (RFA) is one with three accrued seasons of service, who has received a "qualifying" offer (a salary level predetermined by the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the league and its players) from his current club. He can negotiate with any club through a certain date. If the restricted free agent accepts an offer sheet from a new club, his old club has "right of first refusal," a seven-day period in which it may match the offer and retain him, or choose not to match the offer, in which case it may receive one or more draft picks for the upcoming draft from the player's new club. If an offer sheet is not executed, the player's rights revert to his old club the day after negotiations must end.Each player that signs a tender receives the one-year salary that corresponds to the tender level. Teams which choose not to match an offer on a player with a low tender receive a draft pick corresponding to the round in which the player was originally drafted (except that the highest pick that can be surrendered for such a tender is a second-round pick). For example, a player who was originally drafted in the sixth round of the NFL Draft would force the team signing him to give his former team a sixth-round pick in the upcoming draft as compensation for his service. No compensation is required for an undrafted player on the lowest tender amount, so teams with valued undrafted RFAs are taking a notable risk by offering such tenders. Examples of possible outcomesIn addition to the following outcomes, if a player does not receive an offer sheet from his original team, he becomes an unrestricted free agent. If a player signs the offer sheet from his original team, he remains with that team.Team declining to match offer sheet. Carolina Panthers cornerback Ricky Manning, Jr. was a restricted free agent in the 2006 offseason. Based on the tender placed on Manning by the Panthers, the team would receive a third-round pick in the NFL Draft if Manning signed with another team. On April 21, the Chicago Bears signed Manning to an offer sheet - a five-year contract worth up to $23 million. Although the Panthers had a full week to decide if they wanted to match the offer sheet, they announced on April 24 that they would not match. At this time, Manning became a member of the Bears and the Panthers received a third-round draft choice in the 2006 draft from Chicago.Team matching offer sheet. Arizona Cardinals offensive guard Reggie Wells was a restricted free agent in the 2006 offseason. On March 17, the Buffalo Bills signed him to an offer sheet - a five-year deal worth approximately $18 million. Four days later on March 21, the Cardinals matched the Bills' offer sheet for Wells, and he reverted to the Cardinals.Team consummating a trade. The Miami Dolphins offered wide receiver Wes Welker a second-round tender in 2007. Although it was widely rumored that the New England Patriots would offer Welker a seven-year, $35 million deal, the Patriots ultimately traded their second- and seventh-round draft picks to the Dolphins for Welker, signing Welker to a five-year, $18 million contract.

FireJimCaldwell Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Mike Wallace reportedly wants Larry Fitzgerald money(8 years 120 million). Even if the the Colts/Steelers agreed to compensation(future draft picks) to facilitate a trade, the Colts do not have the cap space to placate Wallace. He would have to be willing to play at the league minimum in 2012 with guarantees built into year 2, and to get a player to agree to do something like that a team would have to over compensate him for him doing them that favor.Cap space, compensation and the potential extreme high value of the Colts 2013 # 1 will make the odds of Wallace being a possibility not very strong.

He is the Steelers property unless he signs an offer with another team and and the Steelers don't match it (or work out a trade instead). If he doesn't get an offer it looks like he would remain a Steeler for one more year and then be an unrestricted free agent next year. My understanding is that the Steelers are trying to sign him to a long term deal. You have to doubt that he will ever be unrestricted - that would require taking on a lot of risk next year regarding injury. He will likely end up with a LT contract - the question is with who? One would assume that this has to be concluded one way or another before the draft.MY question is why everything I've read suggests that it would cost a first rounder to sign him. The above says that the maximum would be a second rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGRekks Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I dont get it? so if say the draft is over, say like may 5th whos team is he on? is he still under contract with the steelers even tho its expired? when will he be a just a regular f/aIt wouldn't be expired. For him to be eligible for first round compensation, the Steelers have to offer him a one year contract at the first round level. They did. In the time between the start of free agency and the week before the draft, any team who is interested has the right to negotiate another contract. If they do, the Steelers have 7 days to match, but not exceed it. If they match it, they keep Wallace. That is his new contract. If no one shows interest in him before the draft, he either signs his one year offer sheet or sits out.Restricted free agency last until one week before the draft. After that, the player can receive no other contract offer, though the one from his team still stands.Obviously a non-tendered player is an unrestricted free agent.
