If a club wants to sign away the Raiders’ leader in receiving yards, it will not have to surrender a draft pick to do so.

Raiders wide receiver Andre Holmes received the lowest tender offer in restricted free agency, Mike Garafolo of Fox Sports reported Saturday. According to Howard Balzer of the Sports Xchange, the low RFA tender is $1.542 million.

By tendering a one-year contract to Holmes, the Raiders can match any offer from other teams. However, Oakland will not receive a selection in the 2015 draft as compensation if it declines to match.

The 26-year-old Holmes hauled in 47 passes for 693 yards and four touchdowns for Oakland in 2014. It’s possible he could draw some interest, given that clubs don’t have to worry about giving up a pick. The downside, however, is that Oakland has the right to match and ample cap space.

Nevertheless, it’s an interesting decision by the Raiders. They were willing to give wide receiver Rod Streater the second-round tender ($2.356 million, per Balzer) but they would not commit the same dollars to Holmes.

If the Raiders wanted to keep Holmes, the second-round tender would have done the trick. With another good group of collegiate wide receivers entering the league, there’s no way he would garner an offer sheet.

Now, who knows? The Bengals lost Andrew Hawkins under similar circumstances a season ago. Let’s see if someone steps up and makes a play for Holmes.
