Think of a tender as a place holder.
The Saints have too many RFAs to work contracts with all of them in a matter of days. Placing tenders on them allows Loomis to work contracts on a priority basis (should the FO want to sign the player to a multi-year deal). Should another team offer a Saints RFA a contract, since the Saints would have a right to match it, Loomis' work would be reduced to reviewing the offered contract and decide "yes" or "no", rather than going through the motions of negociating the contract.

Well said sir. There are just too many FA's this year to make it all happen. Remember guys, we are the 3rd richest team in the NFL which means we have plenty of money to spend. It will all get worked out by the time camp starts.
