Jeremy Mincey, Jaguars, age 28-Franchised.

Also according to Walter Matt Roth, DE/OLB, Jaguars, age 29 is the 6th UFA on the team. That should make him mine still.

Him and Josh Scobee was ranked the same. and he is a far better prospect in FA than a K that sucks. remember you will have the advantage of signing him back and if you want to get rid of Josh go ahead.

So who is working out how much the franchise tag costs?

It's the aggregate of the top 5 players at their position, right?

I say this because a lot of teams have franchised players - this is going to seriously hinder their ability to play the FA market. Or it should.

yeah, uhh last year was the first year we did the free agency thing so we were just trying things out. some things worked and some things didn't, you really shouldn't have just copied and pasted the rules over

the franchise tag needs to actually cost what it really would, letting people have a free tag makes the majority of the franchised players completely unrealistic

And so does only picking 5 players going into a fa pool,which doesn't make sense.I think you should be more worried about why you have Donnie Avery on the Rams roster.

Perhaps but a team like my Giants only has $7 cap room, maybe I can bid on a peripheral Special Teams player but that's about it, I'm gonna lose all my free agents. If it was to be realistic you'd have to allow for players being released or restructured as it is in the real world to make cap space.

Or go with a suggestion I already made. Give everyone 1 free Franchise Tag and $30 Cap Room. :cool:

thats the other thing, going by straight cap space is dumb because teams like the bucs and cheifs are going to have a TON of cap space but in reality they never use it so it's not like they'd really have that much money to spend. they have an internal budget. meanwhile teams like the giants will max out so in reality they will tend to spend more than what they're cap space indicates

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
