So much for inking some of the Eagles restricted free agents before midnight. All nine were tendered today without any long-term deals.
Here’s the list:
- Eillis Hobbs – 1st round
- Leonard Weaver – 2nd round
- Jason Avant - 2nd round
- Nick Cole – 2nd round
- Akeem Jordan – 2nd round
- Chris Gocong – 3rd round
- Max Jean-Gilles – 4th round
- Omar Gaither – 5th round
- Sav Rocca – Right of first refusal
- Alex Smith – No tender
According to beat writer Geoff Mosher via his Twitter, Weaver’s agent “still expects a deal to get done.” Take that for what it’s worth. No agent is going to be negative during negotiations. However, I could still see some team swooping in and giving up a second rounder to gain Weaver’s services.
Hobbs getting a first-round level is a bit of a surprise, but according to Scout.com’s Adam Caplan on Twitter, “there was very little difference between 1st and 3rd, so they went with 1st. Hobbs will earn $2.77 million this year.”
So, there we have it. Tonight at midnight the real excitement begins.
