INDIANAPOLIS -- The Jets are expected to tender restricted free agent cornerback Marcus Williams before free agency begins on March 9, a person with knowledge of the situation told NJ Advance Media. Williams will likely receive the low tender.
Once Williams is tendered, he'll receive a one-year contract worth a to-be-determined amount. Early projections have the low tender at an estimated $1.185 million. The NFL hasn't announced this year's tender values.
Unlike unrestricted free agents, who are free to sign with any team of their choosing, restricted free agents are handcuffed.
