The Facts:
HC Rex Ryan gave an enthusiastic thumbs-up on Edwards. Ryan said he wants him back, adding that Edwards (a restricted free agent) will receiver the highest tender -- first- and third-rund picks as compensation.
Reported by the New York Daily News
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The highest possible tender -- a one-year deal giving the Jets the right to match any offer sheet signed by Edwards and a first-round and third-round pick as compensation if the Jets choose to fold -- will cost the Jets 110 percent of Edwards' 2009 base salary of $4.55 million. As a result, his $5 million tender offer will be significantly higher than the normal maximum RFA tender of roughly $3 million. ... Still, as Profootballtalk.com's Mike Florio notes, that's not a huge price after Edwards proved during the AFC title game that he still remembers how to catch a football.
