Maybin will be entitled to a one-year salary in the range of $2.5 million, the Jets will have a chance to match any offer Maybin accepts with another team, and the Jets ultimately will be entitled to receive a first-round pick as compensation if the Jets choose to let Maybin walk.

We should have kept if we could have gotten a first rounder out of him.

As a former first round pick isn't that the only tender they could give to Maybin?

No. He was cut and resigned to a minimum deal. The compensation is based on what level of salary they tender him at.

Yes.The lowest tendered salary has the players original round as the compensation, which for Maybin would be a 1st.

 

Mehta has updated his story to explain that the Jets plan to use the “original-round” tender on Maybin, which entails a lower tender than the high tender. Since Maybin originally was drafted in the first round, the Jets can secure first-round compensation for roughly half the price. A review of the convoluted language of the CBA on this point suggests that, indeed, the Jets are able to do this.

 

Unless there is a lower tender than original round, which would probably mean no compensation.
