Packers Re-Issue Tenders to Trio of Unsigned RFAs

Green Bay Packers unsigned restricted free agents Johnny Jolly, Atari Bigby, and Tramon Williams had their one-year qualifying offers extended for another two weeks, Rob Demovsky of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

All three are not expected to attend the Packers' voluntary "Organized Team Activity" sessions this week and next, but with the Packers having the option of reducing the tenders to 110% of the player's 2009 base salary, they are expected to sign the tenders by June 15 to avoid those reductions, which would cost Jolly, who Greg Bedard of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports passed a court-ordered drug test, and Williams $4.398 million dollars combined in 2010.

Unsigned Restricted Free Agent: Atari Bigby, S, four (4) accrued seasons
Tender Level, 2010 Base Salary: Second Round, $1.759M
Reduced Tender Amount: $1.6995M
Difference: $59,500

Unsigned Restricted Free Agent: Johnny Jolly, DE, four (4) accrued seasons
Tender Level, 2010 Base Salary: First Round, $2.521M
Reduced Tender Amount: $588,500
Difference: $1.9325M

Unsigned Restricted Free Agent: Tramon Williams, CB, four (4) accrued seasons
Tender Level, 2010 Base Salary: First and Third Round, $3.043M
Reduced Tender Amount: $577,500
Difference: $2.4655M

The Packers have OTA sessions scheduled for June 15-17, and a mandatory mini-camp from June 21-23.
