Saints' Willie Snead: Expected to receive ERFA tender from Saints
The Saints are expected to tender Snead (head), an exclusive rights free agent, in the near future, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis:
Because Snead has accrued just two full seasons, the Saints have all the bargaining power, as the wideout can be kept around at $615,000 for the 2017 campaign. There is a belief from Snead's camp that a long-term deal could come to pass in the coming weeks or months, but at the very least he'll have a roster spot in hand once he's offered the aforementioned tender. Despite missing one game apiece in both of his two years with the team, he's hauled in 141 of 205 passes (68.8 percent catch rate) for 1,879 yards and seven touchdowns during that stretch.
