Franchise tag season


Boltergeist

Recommended Posts

....starts today. The rough guesstimate is around 20 teams may use them, most on K/P.

No ones been tagged as of yet. Philly's said no. No one in San Diego seems likely yet. One likely to get tagged: DEN LT Ryan Clady (barring a long term deal).

I'll keep this post updated as tags are named.

BUF - S Jarius Byrd

CHI - DT Henry Melton

CIN - DE Michael Johnson

DAL - DE Anthony Spencer

DEN - OT Ryan Clady

IND - P Pat McAfee

MIA - DT Randy Starks

According to the Palm Beach Post, free agent CB Sean Smith is "preparing" to be franchise tagged, but "rooting strongly against it."

Someone with "intimate knowledge of the team’s thinking" tells Boston Herald columnist Ron Borges the Patriots won't use the franchise tag on free agent Wes Welker.

According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, it would "be a shock" if the Bengals didn't use the franchise tag.

According to the Florida Times Union, "indications are" the Jaguars won't use the franchise tag.

Got all of this information from Rotoworld

Honestly, is the 2009 Panther draft the worse in history?

And I mean NFL history, not just Panther. It is just painfull to think about it.

And that is followed up by the 2010. In which the high point was that Hurney failed to move up to first in the 2nd round to draft Clausen (most likely offering the 1st in 2011 the became Cam).

At least we only have Hardy to resign this or the next off season...

2008 was one of Hurney's worst draft moves.

Instead of Albert, Rice/Forte, a 2008 4th and a first rounder in 2009, we have Stewart sitting on the bench with his massive contract.

Aww the pain. I can't stomach reading this crap. Hurney's draft moves boggle the mind. The E Brown and Armanti moves....,ugh.

And like the guy above you said, can you imagine if Hurney succeeded in trading UP for Clausen? He was trying to do it. Wow, just wow.

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
