The San Francisco 49ers are expected to tender a contract to exclusive rights free agent Jordan Devey, and I imagine some people might lose their mind a little bit. In reality, it's not nearly as crazy as it sounds.
An exclusive rights free agent has two or fewer accrued seasons. Devey was active for 15 games last season, and seven the season before. Under the rules of exclusive rights free agency, the team can hand the player a contract for the league minimum. The player can either sign the contract, or not play in the NFL.
