The Philadelphia Eagles are placing the right of first refusal tender on restricted free agent Nate Herbig, according to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter.
This right of first refusal tender is the lowest possible RFA tender; it’s a one-year contract offer worth about $2.4 million.
It’s not necessarily likely but it is at least possible that another team signs Herbig to an offer sheet. If that’s the case, the Eagles would have a week to either match the offer or decide to allow him to walk. Given that Herbig was originally signed as an undrafted rookie free agent, the Eagles would receive no draft pick compensation upon his departure.
