News broke yesterday that the Cowboys' Anthony Spencer had signed his tender, guaranteeing him an $8.8M salary for 2012, and allowing him to attend off-season workouts with the team without fear of injury-without-security (or whatever it is that millionaires concern themselves with).

An apparent majority of Cowboys fans were looking forward to the possibility of waving goodbye to Spencer this offseason. For now, it appears they'll have to wait until 2013.

In theory, this decision doesn't necessarily impact the Cowboys' plans for the fast-approaching draft. One would assume that, as the Cowboys franchised Spencer and have not offered any form of long-term contract, they expected him to sign his tender.
