With 18 of their players headed towards free agency, the New England Patriots will have to make some tough business decisions over the next two weeks. One of those includes whether or not to tender the three restricted FAs: wide receivers Jakobi Meyers and Gunner Olszewski as well as fullback Jakob Johnson.
While Meyers appears to be a relatively safe bet to get a tender offer — the second-round label appears most likely — the outlook is less clear for Olszewski and Johnson. New England’s relative lack of salary cap space in combination with the tender costs means that the club might decide against tendering either one of them.
