RFAs Jaquelin Roy and Jack Gibbens

[ctpatsfan77]

The Patriots unusually had five RFAs [restricted free agents, with exactly 3 years toward FA] this season: CB Alex Austin, QB Tommy DeVito, T Yasir Durant, LB Jack Gibbens, and DT Jaquelin Roy.

They've already re-signed DeVito, and declined to offer tenders to Austin and Durant. But AFAIK they haven't made any moves with Gibbens and Roy.

The low RFA tender, which gives right of first refusal, is ~$3.5M. The second-round tender, which requires that pick if the offer isn't matched, is ~$5.5M.

What do you think should/will happen with them? They have until the official start of FA tomorrow to issue tenders.

I think they low-tender Gibbens, and let Roy walk.

I expect that they’ll probably tender Gibbens and not Roy.

Agreed, presuming that they aren't re-signed tomorrow
