Diehards Line:Clabo, Norwood and Dahl all have four accrued NFL seasons and received first round tenders. With the first round tender their salary for 2010 will be $2.521 million or 110 percent of their 2009 salary, whichever is greater. ... Meanwhile, Scout.com's Adam Schefter reports the team has assigned a second-round tender to restricted free agent RB Jason Snelling. ...
