"Near certainty" Burns will be tagged


Recommended Posts

The only other thing i want in this draft (other than offensive play makers) is an edge rusher to either put on the other side or replace him if we don't keep him.

We can get a good one with our first or second pick and still load up in offensive play makers.

Well, honestly, he was right about Norman’s worth. He never can close to 2015’s career year and he certainly wasn’t worth the money the Redskins gave him. You would have hoped we could have gotten more value via trade, but no one in Washington was happy with that signing when it was over.

The way it was handled was the worst possible option on the table. We were coming off a Super Bowl run. We approached FA like Norman would be here. We tagged him leading the locker room to believe he'd be here. Then we yank the tag because Gettleman was more interested in winning dick measuring contests than he was in assembling a football team. That forced us to spam picks at CB just to field a secondary and sent the entire locker room in a tailspin of WTF just happened???

Yeah. Have to concede that to Dave, especially with hindsight in play. In isolation. 

In the big picture he - Gettleman - fuged us hard in the secondary around all of that. It is kind of coming back to me a little, aarrgghh.

If I am remembering correctly it was a clear example of his enormous ego.

We need to get past Burns so that we can get deals done with our other free agents

Yes that's the other side to this. Really you want to know what you're doing with Burns before free agency. It would be foolish to tag him not knowing if you're going to trade, extend him or let him play under the tag. Before you know it you get to training camp and have no new pass rusher and Burns holding out
