Overview
- ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported Dallas will place a second-round restricted free agent tender on guard T.J. Bass.
- The tender would give Dallas matching rights or a second-round pick if it declines to match an offer sheet.
- The amount will be set once the 2026 salary cap is announced, with OverTheCap projecting $5.81 million.
- Pairing Bass's designation with Brandon Aubrey's planned tender would commit roughly $12 million to two RFAs.
- Bass has 10 career starts and roughly 315–351 snaps each season, yet he lacks a clear path to start behind Tyler Smith and Tyler Booker.
