IRVING, Texas (AP) -The Dallas Cowboys gave restricted free agent Miles Austin the highest possible tender offer Thursday, requiring any team that signs the Pro Bowl receiver to give up a first- and third-round pick as compensation.
The move, which was expected, likely means Austin will return to Dallas next season. He’s essentially been offered a one-year deal for $3.168 million, but team owner Jerry Jones has said he’ll consider giving Austin a longer, more lucrative contract.
The Cowboys made tender offers to 11 of their restricted free agents and signed another to a one-year deal. The only player left out: kicker Shaun Suisham, who struggled after replacing Nick Folk late in the season.
