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

    • As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.
    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
