Gets second-round tender Gardeck (knee) was given a second-round tender by the Cardinals on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Impact This move will grant Arizona the right to match any offer sheets the restricted free agent receives, ensuring the team will hold onto Gardeck if it wants to. Gardeck is coming off knee surgery to repair a torn ACL suffered Week 15, but he was in the midst of a breakout campaign prior to the injury, racking up seven sacks in just 93 defensive snaps. The second-round tender also guarantees Gardeck a salary of no less than $3.38 million, so the former undrafted rookie is getting a substantial raise to reward last season's efforts.
