JPP Gets Slapped With The Franchise Tag

[Saca312]

For those of you with dreams of JPP and Addison on passing downs, well dream no more.

JPP gets the franchise tag slapped right on him after hearing teams were actually lurking around the idea of $17m per year for him.

Gotta hand it to JPP, he sure tied the Giants hands, making them slap that tag on him.

This has a pretty big ripple effect on the market, with the top tier pass rushers locked up in a very poor DE FA class. Expect some teams to overpay the mediocre.

I had no disillusion about the Panthers going after a high priced DE. 

This is no news.

A awful free agency pool gets even worse and that will continue with teams signing there own before the 9th.

Well, he could always give them the finger and not sign the tag.

How much you wanna bet Gman knew this was coming?

Indeed.

Makes Addison's deal look pretty sweet [for us, i.e. good value].  With all those names gone and his sack numbers, I bet he easily could have gotten 9M a year if he tried free agency.  Very glad he stayed with the Panthers.

Only if plans on screwing himself. 

Go ahead, let him sit out a year. Losing value, and losing guaranteed money this year.

For 17 mil, they could slap me all day long.

JPP has expressed his extreme disdain at the possibility of a Franchise Tag on him. He's made extreme comments concerning that, and he may truly follow through.

Although unlikely, don't expect it as something that couldn't happen, especially if your value is about $17 million a year already.

Huge gamble by the Giants. They have to be banking on working out a long term deal with him. If they can't that's 30 million in cap hits this year between him and Vernon at DE

I will laugh my ass of at that idiot if he decides to sit out this upcoming season. 

Then again, he did blow his hand off. Will still be hilarious.
