So yeah, like I thought the only tender options were 1st, 2nd, or just the right of first refusal since Cole's original round was "undrafted."

Why would a team trade a player for less than the tender round? Easy. Suppose you wanted at least a 4th round pick for your player. You can't trade him if he's a free agent. If you tender him lower than 4th round then you risk losing him with no compensation if the other team makes a ridiculous offer, or finds a poison pill to add to the contract. You can't tender him with a 4th round tender because it doesn't exist, the lowest tender you can use that guarantees you get full value is a second round tender although you're willing to trade him for less.

And I saw nothing in the description that says you can't sign him and then trade him for a lower pick.

None of this is saying the Jags are actually trying to trade Cole or that anyone is interested, just that it's at least remotely possible.

Poison pills are illegal now.
