Time to update your tagline?
For some reason my admittedly limited perception of the franchise tag was that you use it ... when you can't work out the deal you want to but want to keep the guy anyway and are happy to pay the cost of the tag.
You are not wrong but what I saw was a comment to the effect that both sides are still working on a long term deal to keep him in Tampa. Guys get tagged and then end up signing long term contracts all the time. Comes down to the player and their relationship with the team. Some will be upset about getting the franchise tag put on them but in this case I don't think that is what is going on.
In reference to an interception?
Correct, another bad decision by Spielman.
He seemed to do anything to avoid drafting a Gopher.
I guess we shouldn't speak ill of the dead, but thanks Rick.
If we're going with a bridge QB, it'll be Wilson. He'll be practically free.
Best comment of the year!
Rick Spielman passed on AWJr. when he was right in his backyard. IIRC, the Vikings traded with the 49ers to get Jeff Gladney.
