From PFT:


In a somewhat surprising move, the Green Bay Packers have applied only the second-round tender to safety Atari Bigby, according to the Green Bay Press-Gazette.

The $1.545 million tender offer means that the Packers have a right to match any offer Bigby receives. If the Packers choose not to match, theyll receive a second-round draft pick as compensation.

Bigby was regarded as a rising star after a strong performance in the 2007 postseason. Injuries hampered him during the 2008 season.

The Packers also have applied the low tender of $1.01 million to four other restricted free agents: receiver Ruvell Martin, safety Jarrett Bush, fullback John Kuhn, and outside linebacker Jason Hunter. Because each player was undrafted, the Packers would receive only a right to match any offer they receive from another team.

The Packers reportedly decided not to extend tender offers to tight end Tory Humphery and receiver Shaun Bodiford.

(And, in fairness to the Chiefs, the Packers have recently announced the application of the various tenders without including in the release the specific level given to each player.)



Only second round? Sure he was injured most of last season, but I'm a bit surprised they didn't give him the highest level. Maybe Thompson's counting on no one giving him an offer because of the injury, but I wouldn't want to take that chance.

With how much the staff likes Rouse, I'm not really too surprised.

Honestly if we can get a 2nd rounder for bigby via someone giving him an offer sheet I'd be tempted to take it.

I like Bigby and I think he'd be good for this defense but with Collins Contract situation looming and Aaron Rouse showing he's at least adequate (though he has definite room for improvement) gaining a second round pick could really help us out.

Me 2, we should of tooken the 2nd round pick and just draft a stud safety with trading down a bit in the 1st round picking up another 2nd rounder or something.

2nd round tender seems like the proper thing for an undrafted player that had one above average season, and was hurt all of last year.

Dont get me wrong, i really like Bigby, but i think some people are over estimating his value. I dont think many teams will be willing to fork over a contract, and a 2nd round pick for a guy who only played 4 games last year.

I can see a few teams doing so, Tampa I think would be a front runner, With Jim Bates running their D now and with Bigby having experience in the scheme. Plus with Jermaine Phillips a FA they need that physical enforcer which is Bigby to a T. Dunno if they wanna give up the pick though but im happy with move regardless.

I don't think anyone will give a second for Bigby. I think he still has a lot to prove in the NFL.

A 2nd-round tender is appropriate. He's had one good year (or closer to the truth, a handful of really good games). He's still lost in coverage - Collins and Rouse are both better at that.

I wouldn't say that Rouse is better in coverage than Bigby. not even close. he gets burned, a lot. and his angles are awful. and like bigby, he doesn't like to tackle people, he just likes to knock them down. rouse has potential, but, as of last season, he is not ready to play in the NFL.
