[QUOTE="all about da packers, post: 141706, member: 227"] Being tendered basically means the team gets to hold onto the rights of the player. So by extending a tender, the player becomes property of the NFL team. Now the tender has a money value, and when the player signs the tender, they are entitled to earn all of that money. The tender is like a one year contract, the player signs and he is now contractually obligated to play for the team. The player can refuse to sign the tender. If the player does not sign the tender, he does not have to play a single game for that team, instead he can sit out. The only problem is that the rights of the player still belong to the team that tendered him, so his ability to sign with a different team is limited. Being extended a tender one season means you cannot receive a tender next year (this rule does not apply to the franchise tag/transition tag). So while Turner is a restricted free agent this year (IE he was tendered), he cannot be tendered again next year (so he will be an unrestricted free agent). Keep in mind though, that the Chargers can still slap the franchise/transition tag on Turner next season to keep his rights. The franchise tag isn't likely to be slapped because it'd cost the Chargers too much; they are going to have to pay Turner the average of the top 5 salaries of NFL RBs. Transition tag is much more likely to be used by the Chargers next year, the only problem is that if Turner signs a contract with another team, the Chargers receive no compensation (IE draft picks) in return for loosing Turner.
