Knock knock knock Miami calling

I can't imagine us tagging a Kalil. Tagging a center? At his age, get the guy a longterm deal. Money well spent.

I'd slap the tag on Johnson. He put a up very good numbers with no starting caliber DT on the roster and a guy who basically posed no pass rush threat playing the majority of the time at the opposite DE spot. Teams are always willing to give big money to good young pass rushers and that's what Johnson is. If he hits the market we may lose him.

I hope we resign D-Will. I really like Stewart, but the guy has battled injuries below the knees every season. They haven't hampered him too much on the field yet, but that's the key word - YET.

Based on what, speculation?

Two things to note:

First, it's LaCanfora. He's wrong his fair share of times so I wouldn't take it as gospel just yet.

Second, the possibility exists that they may not need the franchise tag to keep Williams.

A little surprising, but a move we were probably going to make. I really hope we keep Deangelo, though.

true.

lacanfora is just throwing crap on the wall to see if it sticks.

there has been nothing said by hurney or rivera or chud that would cause anyone to think they have any intention of letting williams get away.

[Lumps]

you like this move? letting dwil walk for nothing?

if this happens it spells complete incompetence of the FO.

I think there is more to it regarding tags though. He might want to resign too, even better.

edit: never mind I see you are assuming they will resign him, "Miami calling" is what I was talking about damn you grits lol

Kalil is more likely to get tagged IMO. He's a pretty damn good center.

Kalil is more likely to get tagged IMO. He's a pretty damn good center.

But if you tag a center you must pay him like a top OT.

[SOJA]

Assuming Kalil is locked up, I'd rather take Johnson over D-will even though I really hope D-will is resigned

[Lumps]

Yep, sign Kalil, sign Williams, tag Johnson is best scenario IMO. although with all the money and a new CBA we should just sign them all. I'd take a gamble with Johnson, but not a huge one.

We prob want see a FA period anyway so no worries.

Williams will be the cheapest. Johnson's tag will be pretty crazy, especially after that deal the Raiders gave Richard Seymour.

I think it's pretty obvious that they will give Kalil a long term deal right when a new CBA is reached. Johnson on the other hand only has one good full season, so the tag might be better for him to see if he can replicate that success next season before giving him a long term deal.

I personally think the tag will go to either Johnson or Williams. I wish we knew what the deal was with tags next year. Wouldn't Johnson be classified as a RFA under the current CBA, thus making him eligible for a 1st&3rd round tender?
