The Facts:
The Saints placed a premium on Ivory as they issued the restricted free agent a second-round tender, according to a source. The second-round tender consists of a one-year, $2.023 million offer.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
This means if a team would want Ivory to sign a contract and the Saints wouldn't match the offer, the Saints would receive a second-round pick from that team. As Times-Picayune staffer Larry Holder suggests, the price tag is likely too high for any team to try to pluck Ivory away. ... Ivory tallied 217 rushing yards last season and two touchdowns while only receiving 40 carries in a crowded backfield also containing Mark Ingram, Darren Sproles and Pierre Thomas. Ivory has been hampered by numerous injuries during his three seasons in New Orleans, but he was a healthy inactive for much of the first half of the season.
