GREEN BAY, Wis. -- For most teams with restricted free agents, the decision is easy: Tender them at the lowest rate -- this year projected at $2.133 million -- and see if they can replicate what they did the previous season or even take their game to another level.
Tight end Robert Tonyan is not most restricted free agents.
And because of it, the Green Bay Packers have a more difficult decision to make.
If they use the lowest tender, called a "right of first refusal," another team almost certainly would make him an offer.
