Thanks for the info, but perhaps a little narrative could help here?
These are approx. 13% increases over last year….is it normal to go up by that much?
So if a player was drafted in the first round can a team use the original draft compensation and not the first round tender to recieve a first back for the player?

YES.
What about RFAs with 3 seasons of experience? Are they no longer restricted?
Wow, I like that ARod. I’m sure you can’t but I hope someone answers this question.
What do the price tags next to the tender mean?
@TheRealARod — yes, in theory…. But the player can request that his RFA is upped to 110% of his current salary. So that makes that option not really applicable.
For Example, Jason Campbell was a 1st rounder. So they could tender him at $1.226M. But Campbell can then just request 110% which would put him at $3.144M (salary source: http://www.thewarpath.net/WarpathRedskinsCap.htm).
So at that point, why wouldn’t you just tender him at $3.268M and get a first and a third.
Very few first rounders are going to be making less than $2.6M, so the original round thing doesn’t really apply.
Does that make sense?
@Setobakura the price tags are the 2010 salary. Usually this is what would count against the cap, but this year it is just what the team has to pay out.
