The beauty of it (unless I've been misinformed) is that 2010 and 2011 are uncapped years for the NFL... We can tag him again next year (for approximately 20 mil), as well as the year after (for approximately 24 mil), without any salary cap drawbacks... Then, when he is 32 in 2012 we can franchise him again (a 4th time), and trade him for whatever we can get for him, having effectively retained his services through the prime of his career...

The decision is not 100 percent about the non-capped year. If the NFL cannot reach an agreement with the players association, then it will be non-capped. I believe, but I am not 100 percent sure.

I THINK the deadline has passed for 2010, with 2011 now the target of the discussion... But, I too am not sure about this...

heh, cruel is definitely in the eye of the beholder... I can't imagine the definition of cruel being 20-24 million for 17 games... =)

Heck, if I was Pep, I would be PRAYING this is what happened... it would effectively be a 3 year $61 million contract! :eek:

It's my understanding that you can only tag a guy 2x.

Given the apparent lack of interest, I think it's much more likely that Peppers will change his mind a sign a contract with us.

Actually, upon further research, the limit is 3 times... So in my scenario we'd have to knock off the 4th year of it... Oh well, we'd still have him til he was 32... heh

I'm fairly certain that 2 years is the limit, but who knows in an uncapped year. It's time to renegotiation with the players association and all bets are off. We just don't really know what the rules are this year, but all bets on, all bets off, I'd say peppers and his agent fvcked themselves, nicely... :lol:

      Dave Canales says Jalen Coker is our tentative #2 next season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      It will be really interesting to see how both sides handle this. I'm sure the team would love to get him signed to a 4 year deal based on his output so far and some potential factored in, i.e. something like a 4 year $30 million contract.  But I could see his agent telling him the best path is to take the one year offer, put up a big year next year and then really cash in. The team also has to keep in mind T-Mac's 2nd contract, which likely will happen after the 2027 season assuming he keeps improving as expected.  Even if we could get him on a budget 4 year deal for what he could become, the problem then becomes when he wants to re-negotiate in 2 years during the same summer we will extend T-Mac, and you don't want to spend that much on WRs in one offseason, just see the Bengals this last year. Taking everything into consideration, I'm thinking the 1 year deal and then getting him to sign a 4-5 year deal after hopefully say a 800ish yard season next year might be best for our cap situation and separate his and T-Mac's negotiation periods.

      And yet jax made it no further than we did, and its very possible the Pats don't either. I think it speaks more to the overall down year for the nfl as far as having great/dominant teams, every team this year has fatal flaws that can be exploited
