The Facts:
Amendola has been informed by the Rams that he will be tendered at a second-round level as a restricted free agent.
Reported by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As a restricted free agent, Amendola can get outside offers, but the Rams have the right to match any contract and thus keep him in St. Louis. Because of the tender level, if the Rams chose not to match, they would get a second-round draft pick as compensation. The cost for the one-year tenders has yet to be set by the league. Last year, the second-round tender amount was about $1.8 million. Based on this tender, it would appear the Rams' new staff wants to keep the slot receiver. Amendola caught 85 passes in 2010, then suffered a season-ending elbow injury in the 2011 opener. He is 26 years old, has a good rapport with quarterback Sam Bradford and can contribute in the return game.
