We already knew about the move to give safety Tony Jefferson a low tender offer as a restricted free agent, but the Arizona Cardinals announced a few other basic contract moves.
In addition to offering the "right of first refusal" tender to Tony Jefferson, the team announced it had done the same for safety D.J. Swearinger and receiver Jaron Brown. As restricted free agents, the Cardinals have the right to somewhat control the fate of these players. With the qualifying tender offer, while another team could sign them to an offer sheet, the Cardinals would have five days to decide whether to match the contract.
