You can consider it whatever you'd like, but the fact is that on its own, it's an amount that has a negligible effect on a team's salary cap picture. So if NO is intent on keeping him for 2020, it makes sense to me that they'd pay the extra 1.5M to make that a near certainty. It's possible that you're right and that a 2nd round tender would have meant that a team took Hill away from New Orleans. I don't know. But that's irrelevant to my opinion that he's not worth a 2nd round pick. And if a team did it, it wouldn't change my opinion-- I think it would be a stupid thing to do, for reasons stated plenty already in this thread. And to your last point-- I think you're totally right. It is a smart move on the Saints part. They get to keep an effective wrinkle in their offense for less than 5M without committing anything to him long term. No brainer. But it's also a totally different proposition than giving up a 2nd round pick and paying him a long term contract. The latter is what I think smart teams would have no interest in.</blockquote>
