It's Jason Trusnik's Turn for a Tender

by Chris Pokorny on Mar 4, 2010 3:23 PM EST in General News

Tender, tender, tender. That's all I keep reading about is players getting tendered. What does that mean for the start of free agency tomorrow?

The latest Brown to receive a tender is LB Jason Trusnik, according to the OBR:

LB Jason Trusnik of the Browns has received a surprising second-round tender from the club. With a lot of players around the league fired up about getting tendered lower than they wanted, the high tender for Trusnik comes as a little bit of a surprise. It just shows how much the team likes the recently acquired player

Up next: probably Harrison, Vickers, and DQ.

I heard DQ got a second round tender.

Interesting. That strikes me as a move that the team hopes will result in a draft pick instead of retaining the player.

Same here. Although the opposite seems true with Trusnik, I doubt anyone will try to pick him up.

The sporting gods hate Cleveland, they give us false hopes, then yank it out from under us like a tablecloth.

I wonder if his money cries will turn off some interested teams.

If you're at the table and you don't see a sucker..... you're it.

Actually, this is NOT that surprising. There is no other tender they could have done with him — he was an undrafted free agent, and the only tender below a 2d rounder is to tender at the player’s original draft position. With an undrafted free agent, that means that a team that signs him would not have to compensate us AT ALL. All this commits us to is to pay him about a million bucks for next season.Linky link for how restricted free agent tenders work.

Should have read this before I replied to Dorn about Trusnik.

Wow, we are now the proud owners of two obsolete mauler type linebackers, Roth and Trusnik, at the cost of second round designations. Get them some skates, and then maybe we can prevent the opponent from running circles around us.
