Default Should Pats trade for Asomugha? [merged]

If Moss isnt signed, I honestly would strongly consider giving up our 1st and 3rd rounder to the Raiders and pay big bucks for Nhamdi Asomugha.

I'd either pay big bucks or give up draft picks, but not both.

The Pats already had a chance to re-sign Asante Samuel for big bucks

without giving up any draft picks.

It's my understanding that you can't even sign him in exchange for a first and a third. I believe the Raiders placed an exclusive franchise tag on him. So no one can sign him but them. That's my understanding, but please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

No way. We must stick with players whose names can still be yelled from the stands even when you're drunk.

Brew-ski!

Say-ow!




Seriously though. Raiders put the franchise tag on him on February 20th.

I may be wrong as well, but here's how I understand it:

When you place the normal franchise tag on a player, you get the right of first refusal + compensation if you decide not to match. [If you place the transition tag, you pay less cash, but get no compensation.]

If you place the exclusive tag, no one can force you to match an offer, but that doesn't mean you can't trade the player--though I don't know what effect that would have on the salary cap. (Paging Miguel. . . . )
