Marion Barber-RB- Cowboys

The Cowboys placed the highest tender possible ($2.562 million) on restricted free agent Marion Barber.

Interested teams would have to give up a first- and third-round pick if they signed Barber to an offer sheet Dallas couldn't match. This makes a lot more sense than an earlier report that said MBIII would only get a first-round tender. This should prevent Barber from getting signed elsewhere. Look for Dallas to work towards a long-term agreement as they also look to add another back.
