teams with the extra cap, can resign their own good players.....
Which means the pool Reese will be picking from, will be thin.....causing him to overpay for the talent that is left....we are never going to get the defensive players we need.....I'd rather get that 2nd WR, RG, and RB, and score more points and control the 4th with an OL that can run the ball...the defense will be a 2-3 year rebuild, if lucky....
Overoptimism re: top name FAs.
Some will get tagged quickly.
Some will test FA, but likely return 'home'.
The ones that stay in FA likely be short term plug in guys for teams 'close' and very overpaid.
The majority will be second tier guys, and likely many better than what we have, on D at least.
Let's reasonably sign who we can, both of our own and from other teams,use RDS 4-7 to move up in RDS 2 and 3 if possible.
Thanks to the poor drafting 09-13, generally, we are still about 2 drafts behind the NFL in working the draft, cap, and FA, in evolving the team into a steady contender.
This guy is a hall of fame talent in his prime. Why not realize that and get him a deal? Franchise tag is going to make him feel they aren't committed to him and he will be looking elsewhere when he becomes a free agent. A second franchise tag is ridiculous. Dumb management.
The franchise tag is the worst thing in football, 2 franchise tags is just off the chain bullshit.

Not sure what you mean. The tweet says they will franchise him if no deal gets done. You're acting as if they're not looking to get a deal done.

Players hate the tag, why piss off a key player right when you need him at home his best?

Looks like it worked. Maybe they somehow attributed the claim to Cam Newton?
