Owners pushing for "right of first refusal" clause

Reports indicate owners are pushing to have a right of first refusal for three or four unrestricted free agents per team included in the next Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Meaning we would be able to match offers to Deangelo and CJ and keep them. That would be nice. Hopefully there's something in the CBA taking care of the "poison pill" tactic. That's cheap and dirty (last seen performed by the Vikings in signing Steve Hutchinson, if I recall correctly).

Kind of a modified Franchise Tag concept.

It could work, but only if the number of times you could match is limited. Otherwise, it does limit a players ability to move to another team. They would get paid, but there are always other reasons that players want a change of scenery.

With literally hundreds of free agents on the market this year, having the right to match 3 player's salaries would still allow the majority of players to do as they please.

Well, every team being able to match 3 offers would mean up to 96 free agents theoretically could be taken out of the pool. One of the articles I read mentioned the RoR being only applicable to 4th or 5th year players, similar to the restricted tags of the 2010 season, not all FAs.

If we could match and keep Deangelo, CJ, and Anderson (or TD if there's competition) I wouldn't mind so much losing anyone else. I'd want to keep both of the LBs, but by FAR the most important two guys we need to resign are Deangelo and CJ, in my opinion.

i think it's only for the first year of the CBA.

They were talking about this on NFL radio this morning and I finally called in a mentioned that I had read it was only this year due to the short amount of time for signing free agents. They still didn't agree that this is a good idea but mainly from the players perspective...not necessarily the fans.

hell no we would sign Anderson before Dwill

our offseason looks like this

1a Johnson

1b DWill

2 Davis

3 Extend Kalil/ Beason (he damn sure deserves one)

4 Anderson

Anderson is most likely gonna be signed before Davis because of his injuries, he's gonna have to complete a physical.

    • That he gets worse while at the same time getting more exposure is just typical.
    • And, yes, I've been a slow boil, but watching continually watching shitty displays of football for weeks has me frustrated.  
    • Bryce just didn't maximize Hunter Renfrow's skills. ***rant incoming*** But this isn't just about Bryce Young mistiming passes to Renfrow so bad that he's going to get Renfrow killed or hurt, this is also about incompetentence by Dave Canales. Renfrow can still play. He's putting DBs in a blender out there---making them play twister at the top of routes to keep up with him, and dumb Dave has the nerve to cut him. How about putting Hunter in the best position to help the damned offense by appreciating his skill set, DC? You're letting Bryce's apparent inability to make an accurate throw, or at least his timidity to push the ball down the damned field cloud your judgment and miscalculate talent---or maybe just miss on talent just as much as Bryce misses passes due to playing pussified football. It's fúcking unacceptable.  Speaking of misjudgment, I don't know if it's Dan Morgan or Canales, but Eijiro Evero is not the business at DC. I have said a few times that his scheme is not conducive to run-stopping efficiency. Hell, and after watching some clips of plays, now I absolutely know why. The gaps are at least half open before the play even fúcking starts. You are setting the opposition's RBs up for success with too much damned space at the line and in the second level. If our guys are taken out in these areas---at the line and in the second level---then the defense is screwed because it must rely on the safeties to cover too much ground to make the tackle. At least put Ransom in who is motivated to seek and destroy if you're going to effectively leave the safeties on an island.  And speaking of rookies, get our two new defensive ends more snaps to see if we can't generate more of a pass rush. For all the good the continued sorry display of defense that you're putting out for fan's to see (Ejiro, Dave and Dan), you may as well get the rookies generously involved. Fúck that money we gave second-rate (maybe second-rate) vets, we need a damned spark getting after the QB. Watch it, it's just another breakdown of the sh¡t we were subjected to last week. I say this with all respect: Fúck you, Dave! Fúck you, Dan! Learn how to run a fúcking franchise. Maximize the players, regardless of what you think you're supposed to do by the book. Cut the dead weight before another season is lost and fans lose interest in September. EE is "Ew!" Or for emphasis "EEw!" /end rant
