....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.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
