A 'TENDER' DAY FOR THE EAGLES
March 2, 2006
By DAVE SPADARO
As many teams in the NFL spend today shedding payroll and releasing players to reach the league-mandated limit of $94.5 million within the salary cap, the Eagles will announce today that they've tendered contracts to a group of four restricted free agents, led by cornerback Rod Hood. The tenders give the Eagles negotiating rights with the foursome, which also includes punter Dirk Johnson, running back/return man Reno Mahe and safety Quintin Mikell.
That official announcement must be made prior to 4 p.m. today.
Amid the league's labor uncertainty -- NFL owners are reportedly meeting today in New York in a last-ditch effort to come to an agreement on sharing revenue -- teams are expected to spend most of the day releasing players to reach compliance with the $94.5 million salary cap.
Already, several quality players have been released around the league and more are expected in the coming hours. The Eagles are not expected to make any moves, as they are reportedly comfortably under the salary cap.
You can discuss all of issues today on Eagles Live!, which starts at 1 p.m. live from the NovaCare Complex.
farging Mahe gets a tender. :boom
Did Mahe even get drafted? What the farg? Did they give him the middle first-round tender? Jesus Christ. Way to ruin my morning.
It doesn't say what levels they were tendered at.
No way they give Mahe a $1M+ tender with the cap like it is. He wasn't drafted, no.
No way Andy gives up his Chickie & Pete's hookup. He loves them crab fries.
Reno farging Mahe
sickening.....andy will never change
Not everyone is upset about Mahe getting tendered. (http://www.jimsweeney.net/images/Eagles_Mahe_01.jpg)
Newsflash:
Just because Reno Mahe received a RFA tender does not mean he has a job in 2006. This is not guaranteed money.
I ain't no Reno fan, but him receiving a RFA tender isn;t the end of the world. Bruce Perry will beat him out.
It's one step closer to having a job than he should be. I would love it if Perry beat him out. Isn't going to happen. Mahe is on the team this year. Unreal.
I hope Mahe makes it just to piss you off. Just like you hope "Saint" Favre doesn't retire because of the "whiners". :)
Everyone wins!
I'm still holding out the possibility the dude gets hit by a bus while riding his bicycle to his press conference.
Yeah, yeah... I know. I pray he gets the axe along with everybody else... it's just funny as hell seeing everyone get pissed off over the guy.
Yeah...I don't like the little queer either. Him along with Josh Parry are my biggest bullseyes to pick on and hate. And a few others too, but those are the main two guys.
But a RFA tage doesn't = job in 2006
I understand that a tender doesn't mean he is coming back, but why not give the tag to someone else? I would rather them give it Adams, or shtein, even McCants.

I'm pretty sure that giving Mahe a tender doesn't keep them from not using it on others. It's possible that they are aware there may be interest in him from other teams
Dear god. If there are other teams interested in him they can farging have him!

McCants = UFA
Adams = UFA
A RFA tender is for Restricted Free Agents. There is no tag here. Its not like a frachise tag or transition tag.
the fact that hes on the team to even receive the tag is what makes me ornery
Bruce Perry will beat him out.
you sure about that?
If Josh farging Parry can beat how Richie Reno Mahe can beat out Bruce Perry.

Thanks.
whats the deal with jason short this year? Healhy? Still on the team? i like that dude.
I swear Short is going to break his own neck one of these days by smashing into something. He should be the farging captain of the team.
theres no way short doesnt do buckets of coke at a time

At least my #34 jersey lives on in "tender". ;D
for real, i had front row seats 2 years ago right behind the eagles bench at fedex and the dude has some serious twitching problems, definitely looked like a psycho that would go out and kill animals with his hands for the fun of it

But does he look like a bitch?
what?
Reno Mahe got a tender offer. Haha.
ill just repost my thoughts from the punt returner thread
"I can easily see Mahe being on the team next year (not that i want to). From Reids perspective he can return punts, can catch the ball out of the backfield, knows the offense in and out (especially interesting quote from Moats about Mahe knowing everything) and is a good character guy. It's hard to find much more in a 4th string RB."
If he could add "a modicum of talent" to that list he'd be the bestest 4th striger evar!
has anyone looked into the possibility that the eagles just sprinkled some seasoned salt on these four and hit them with a meat mallet?

Good point. He's not a home run threat, but at least he's not a walking heart attack, either.
Getting a tender doesn't mean much, actually, other than the Eagles get to make a matching offer should he get one out in the rest of the NFL. Plus if another team grabs him, the Eagles get a draft pick out of it.
I'm also thinking that this could be a bit of a smokescreen, too. The Eagles have been said to be interested in a number of FA and college RBs. This wouldn't be the first time they did something to throw other NFL teams off the scent.

I heard Jason Short shows up on gameday in icecream truck covered in human skulls.

I guess I missed that episode of "Pimp my Ride".
That was the Goth My Ride episode.
Hood got the middle tender (1st round compensation)
Johnson, Mikell and Mahe got the low tender which only gives the Eagles the right to match. No compensation since none of them were drafted.
No biggie, then.
Maybe Mahe has some "secret" pictures of Reid or Lurie. :paranoid
He has pictures of Joe Banner rolling around in a pit of $1 bills nude and lathered up with baby oil.

Would that really make Banner upset to have them go public? :paranoid
He'd prefer the public sees the picture of him swimming in his Scrooge McDuck gold coin vault.

I wanted one of them really bad when I was a kid...
Yeah, they're great to think about until you realize metal coins aren't like water at all. They hurt when you dive on them.

No backstroke either. I highly doubt gurgling coins and spitting them out would work either.
It's amazing Joe Banner hasn't died yet. On the other hand, we know why he's always so miserable.
He would have alot of friend in a maximum security prison.
Get a room.
Die a lot.
