The tenders are worth a first and third round pick, OR a first round pick, OR a pick in the round where he was taken (in this case, fifth round pick). The reason we got Jason David last year as an RFA (lucky us) was that Indy was almost full on the cap and so couldn't afford to tender him anything better than the lowest tender, which meant we got him for a 4th. Atlanta will probably tender Boley the first and third pick which is worth something in the neighborhood of 2 million dollars.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here.
You are correct, but the two teams are allowed to work out a trade instead of doing it that way. Like Marion Barber for example...Dallas tendered him the high amount meaning if he went out on his own and some team offered him a deal, they would owe dallas a 1st and 3rd...if Dallas approached some other team about him they could work out a trade for whatever they wanted.
