****** "Official" 2012 Franchise Tag Thread ******

[Deus Irae]

One last note on the way out the door, and it's regarding Davis....

Multiple league sources tells PFT it’s not a done deal, yet.

It very well could happen. But it is not yet official, and Davis has not yet been told he’ll definitely be tagged.

I'm starting to think James Ihedigbo will be starting opening day at FS. A 2nd-3rd rookie in a piss poor class won't beat him out, and the safety market is dry.........

There's not a snowball's chance in hell this happens, IMO. BB knows dig ain't going to cut it just as well as the rest of us.

Mods should remove the quotes from "official" in the thread title, just to piss certain terrible posters off.

Oh, I Agree and I hope not, I wasn't saying that in a positive light lol. But really, with Tyvon Branch & Dashon Goldson tagged, a terrible FS class in the draft, what is left?

Mark Barron could be okay, I think.

Maybe Michael Griffin.

I'd rather say screw it and move McCourty to FS permanently than endure another year with Dig starting at safety.

It'd appear Griffin would be the best option, but it may be tough to land him, being the #1 safety now on the market.

Dwight Lowery played good for the Jaguars at FS, everyone else is just bad out on the market.

If we draft a CB in round 1 or 2 I could see the permanent Mccourty switch as you say.

The thread's official, not the tags.

Only you, evidently.
