Snead signed a one year $615K deal back in March. If nothing is done on a future contract he'll become a RFA for 2018.

Did Snead sign the RFA tender from the Saints in March? Coleman and Lampman signed their tenders...

My understanding was that he is participating in the OTAs without signing and is trying to get his extension...

If you have the article or tweet, please post as I missed that nugget...

Willie Snead - Spotrac

There you'll see the contract details. Since he was an ERFA after his previous deal he can't go anywhere else. The transaction column shows the following ...

MAR 6 2017 Signed a 1 year $615,000 contract with New Orleans (NO)

I'd guess everyone is happy as it.
No rush, once the final rosters there everyone knows what caps there amd the best way to structure his deal. It'll be a pretty decent chunk of change too imo

Re: Willie Snead optimistic and hopeful that he signs long-term deal with Saints before season

This is from 2016 but it still applies. The only difference for 2017 is the amount which is now $615K.

Exclusive rights free agents (ERFAs)

These are players whose contract have expired before they've complete three "accrued seasons." These are mostly undrafted free agents, practice squad players and young players that were picked up midseason.

ERFAs cannot negotiate with other teams. They have one option: accept the $600,000 one-year tender from the team they played for that season -- if it offers one.

In this instance, the teams have all the control. ERFAs can't test the market, but they can try to talk a team into signing them long-term, but there's often little incentive to do so.

It was either that or sit out the season. I hope they're getting him a more deserving contract before the season tho.
