The NFL new year officially began today at 4pm ET, and there was a flurry of activity among the Alabama restricted free agents. Robert Foster, who was non-tendered by Washington, has signed a one-year deal with Miami. Tony Brown and Levi Wallace, both also non-tendered, were immediately re-signed by their respective teams, Cincinnati and Buffalo. The only remaining restricted free agent, Cam Sims, did receive a tender offer at the “right of first refusal” level, which will be worth $2,133,000 if he re-signs with Washington.
