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.

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.

sickening.....andy will never change

Not everyone is upset about Mahe getting tendered.

PhillyPhreak54 · March 02, 2006, 08:45:11 AM

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.

rjs246 · March 02, 2006, 08:46:52 AM

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.

PhillyPhreak54 · March 02, 2006, 08:48:12 AM

I hope Mahe makes it just to piss you off. Just like you hope "Saint" Favre doesn't retire because of the "whiners".

rjs246 · March 02, 2006, 08:48:29 AM

Everyone wins!

I'm still holding out the possibility the dude gets hit by a bus while riding his bicycle to his press conference.

Feva · March 02, 2006, 08:49:14 AM

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.

PhillyPhreak54 · March 02, 2006, 08:51:21 AM

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

PhillyPhanInDC · March 02, 2006, 08:59:03 AM

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.
