more details from the chron:

Quote:
In a surprising move, Denver signed receiver David Anderson, a third-year restricted free agent, to a three-year, $4.5 million offer sheet that includes a $1 million signing bonus. The Texans have a week to match Anderson’s deal or let him go and get a seventh-round pick in return.
Surprising? Uhhhhh.... no. I'd match and slap Rick Smith on the wrist. Anderson's cap value this year has to be under $1 million still, so even as a WR4, this isn't a cap killer.

ETA - The Texans were committing $1.01 million in cash anyway to Anderson this year. That matches the signing bonus. I would guess the first year salary would be around the vet minimum or so, meaning the cash to keep Anderson in 2009 would be roughly the same as it would have been had he received the 2nd round tender. Seems like a no-brainer to me to match this, but then again, I would have never put the team in this position to begin with, so who knows what will happen here.
