Re: Brandon Lloyd
Not sure what you mean. I believe when a player is a restricted free agent his current team tenders him an offer. The level of the offer they give him has a corresponding draft pick value. The 49ers really don't want ot lose Lloyd so they gave him a 1st round tender. What that means is that Lloyd is free to sign with any team, but if he does sign the 49ers would have the right to match the offer...should they choose not to then the team that signed Lloyd will have to give the 49ers a 1st round pick. Typically what happens is that the teams get together and agree on a more fair form of compensation if it becomes clear that the player will be moving on.
The Redskins signed Coles as a restricted FA a few years ago and had to give NY a 1st round pick when NY decided not to match the Redskins contract offer.
