I don't think it's a matter if they want to or not, I just don't know if they have the money. I think they're still 4 million over the cap, and a second round tender will cost 2 million. And they still need to re-sign Bushrod. They're already going to tender Chris Ivory. So that's a lot of money they don't have

gotta go a 2nd Rder on him or have to match what someone else might offer. NFL GMs pay a lot more attention than we do. That is, center performance. He could possibly even get a sniff by a team with the need and a low 2nd Rder. Like Atlanta or Baltimore.
