We will tag one. Norwell is my guess. 

Maybe or maybe not.

The first year cap hit of a long term deal is usually a lot cheaper than a tag number.  If you are looking to add multiple free agents a long term deal would leave more available for this year.

Does Hurney spend big time to try and win now to save his and RR job.  With new ownership coming in I would view this year as a one year audition.

or

Does the ownership go cheap?  No reason to have large cash spending before sale.  Singing bonuses are often paid upfront.

There is no maybe. 90% chance Norwell gets a deal. 10% chance we tag him. Anything else is just absurd.

I don’t see the point in being cheap right now. We are at a point where we have repeatedly shown how far Cam can go with a limited supporting cast. Why not bite the bullet and get him the weapons he needs to win the SB? What’s the point in being cheap with the cap if you aren’t winning and wasting your window of success. The point of the game is to win not to be cheap.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
