Tenders aren't tied to the players actual draft position

Broncos can offer basically one of three tenders: 1st round tender, 2nd round tender, or "original round" tender, which they obviously wouldn't do because he wasn't drafted. The guaranteed money for Phil on a first round tender would be like $5 million, and if someone else signs him and the Broncos don't match, the Broncos get that team's first round pick.

But you're right, they just need to lock him up long term before it even gets to that point.

I don't watch a lot of the Broncos unless they are contenting. -- SamSpade 11/03/2020 07:40AM

Phil is the most exciting player on the team -- WinningLeadership 11/02/2020 08:44AM

He’ll be a restricted free agent, so it might be hard for anyone else -- BetterDeadThanRed 11/01/2020 10:23PM

No draft pick with his tender since he was an UDFA -- buffhooper 11/02/2020 10:52AM

I read today that the tender would be only for the 2021 season -- HallelujahBuff 11/03/2020 12:21AM

Good article, I think he’s spot-on with his comparisons -- BetterDeadThanRed 11/03/2020 12:41AM

Ahh that makes sense -- buffhooper 11/02/2020 7:50PM

Lock's QB rating this year is next to last in the NFL -- HallelujahBuff 11/02/2020 1:26PM

I’ll pass (no pun intended). He can’t “make all the throws” as they -- Shecky1 11/01/2020 10:42PM

That was an Elway game. Look putrid for most of the game and then -- WinningLeadership 11/02/2020 08:48AM

That was an elway game under Reeves-not Shanahan. ** -- Shecky1 11/02/2020 4:24PM

Well stated. He was much different with Shanahan. If only he had him his -- WinningLeadership 11/02/2020 4:27PM

Yes I agree ! ** -- Shecky1 11/02/2020 4:39PM

Line play was better in 2nd half, Lock was better. ** -- The Midnight Toker 11/01/2020 8:16PM

Line play -- Wmac40 11/01/2020 9:49PM

I would love to see Lock's pass distribution -- HallelujahBuff 11/01/2020 9:43PM

That was crazy. ** -- Colo Spgs Buff 11/01/2020 7:42PM
