The Facts: Weaver has been tendered, meaning that he will be a restricted free agent. Weaver was given a second-round tender. The offer is for $1.47 million. The Seahawks would receive a second-round pick as compensation if he signed with another team. FB David Kirtman was tendered as well, making him an exlusive-rights free agent. He can only sign with the Seahawks.
Diehards Line:The versatile Weaver can begin negotiating with other teams once free agency begins tonight (at midnight eastern time), but the Seahawks will have the right to retain him by matching any contract offer he signs. If they choose not to match, they will receive compensation for him in the form of a draft pick.
