The Patriots have tendered cornerback Myles Bryant at the right of first refusal level, according to multiple reports.
Bryant, who is a restricted free agent, can choose to sign with another team or play on a one-year, $2.6 million deal. The Patriots have the right to match any offer that Bryant gets. They could also choose not to match and let him leave.
Right of first refusal is one of three types of tenders. First-round tenders and second-round tenders allow teams to receive compensation for losing a restricted free agent.
Right of first refusal tenders do not involve compensation.
