ESPN: Clayton Expects Skins to Tender Campbell for a 1st and 3rd

[gully]

According to warpaths salary figures salary last year was 2.858 Million.

The tender for a 1st and a 3rd pick level is 3.268 Million.

RFAs can be tendered at the amount specified or 110 percent of last years salary ($3.144M) whichever is greater.

So Clayton is merely saying that Campbell will get the only RFA tender possible. The other alternatives would be no tender, allowing him to walk, or the franchise or transition tags, both of which would be much more expensive.

And the skins are free to accept less in the way of draft pick compensation if they choose.
