I'm on my phone right now and can't get too detailed, but we can tender Ivory. The fact that he was undrafted means the tender offer ties into the salary amount his new team would have to pay him vs. any compensatory picks. An original tender is different than a round tender. I'll clear this up when i get into the office in a bit and i have my full keyboard.

ETA: You can tender any player for any round. The fact that Ivory was undrafted means that the Saints will not receive compensation if someone takes him off our hands. We just get the draft pick at which we tendered him for. Most likely scenario? No one takes Ivory for a 2nd rounder, then we trade him for a 4th or 5th rounder.

Yes but the negative is that if no one takes the trade bait, we owe Ivory (a 4th string RB) $2+MM
