NFL free-agency updates

Follow all the latest developments from around the NFL here:

Restricted free agents

Need to know: Packers had until March 13 to offer either a first-round ($4.07 million), second-round ($3.095) or original-round ($2.025) deal to these players. They are free to negotiate with other teams and agree to a contract. If the Packers put a tender on the player but choose not to match, they will receive the tendered compensation. Allison and Brice were undrafted players, however, so an original-round tender would yield no draft compensation if they sign elsewhere.

» Geronimo Allison, WR - Jim Owczarski confirmed that Allison and the Packers have agreed to a one-year deal, bringing the wide receiver back for the 2019 season.

» Kentrell Brice, S - The Packers elected not to submit a tender, making Brice an unrestricted free agent, and he agreed to terms with Tampa Bay.

Exclusive rights free agents

Need to know: Players are not free to negotiate with other teams. The Packers hold their rights, so if they are offered the tender but do not take it, they cannot play. The tender amount is roughly $645,000.

» Justin McCray, OL - Signed his exclusive rights tender April 2, per NFL transactions report.

» Lucas Patrick, G - Tender offer expected (per Ryan Wood) but will be signed after new league year, per Jim Owczarski

» Robert Tonyan, TE - Signed his exclusive rights tender April 8, per per NFL transactions report.

» Reggie Gilbert, OLB - Signed a one-year, $570,000 tender offer April 3 per NFL transactions report.

» Jake Kumerow, WR - Signed his tender off Friday, a source confirmed.

» Fadol Brown, DL: Signed a one-year, $570,000 deal March 6 before being tendered an exclusive rights contract.

According to the NFLPA, the Packers began the week with over $34 million in available cap space. The Packers' draft class, which includes two first-round picks, should eat up around $3.5-4 million of that space. That means general manager Brian Gutekunst was walking into free agency with roughly $30 million with which to work before any cuts or trades.
