The #Packers have submitted a limited $ 3,384 million free agent tender to TE Robert Tonyan, who will set compensation on a second round if the team fails to comply with a bid, a source said. It almost certainly guarantees that Tonyan will come back and could lead to a long-term deal.

The Green Bay Packers bring breakthrough Robert Tonyan back on a limited free agent tender.
According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Packers gave Tonyan the second round of the tender, which will cost $ 3,384 million at the limit by 2021.
The restricted tender is a guaranteed one-year deal. It gives Tonyan the option to sign a quote form with another team, but if the Packers didn’t agree with the deal, the team would have to send a second round pick in the 2021 draft to Green Bay, with a level of compensation It is found that should dissuade teams from taking the plunge.
Tonyan caught 52 passes for 586 yards and 11 touchdowns over 16 games in 2020. He averaged 11.3 yards per catch and 9.9 yards per target while catching 88.1 percent of his targets.
According to Silverstein, the tender could be a prelude to negotiations between the Packers on a long-term deal.
Tonyan is one of six limited free agents, but he is the only player expected to receive a tender from the Packers.
