2nd round free agent tender to Anderson by Jets

The New York Jets are giving wide receiver Robby Anderson a second-round level restricted free agent tender, keeping the Temple product in the fold for another season, according to multiple reports. After earning $633,000 last season, his third with the Jets, the second-round tender would bump Anderson's salary to $3.1 million. The 6-foot-3, 190-pounder was an undrafted free agent who originally signed with the Jets in 2016.

In November, Anderson, 25, indicated that his preference was to not be tendered in order to negotiate a longer-term deal. While the tender offer keeps Anderson off the open market, he can still negotiate a long-term deal with the Jets. After catching 63 passes for 941 yards and seven touchdowns in 2017, Anderson followed that in 2018 with 50 catches for 752 yards and six scores. He started in 15 of the 16 games he played in 2017 and had starts in nine of the 14 games he played in last season.
