I isolated on Willie McG. Before he left I was emotionally down about his leaving. Watching his very lackluster play tonight, I can't say he's missed on the Pats D. No pursuit. Listless attempts to rush the passer.
It's most probable that Romeo won't be coach there next year after these multiple humiliations. Too bad, as he's a nice guy. Not hurting for bucks though.

So do they draft a CB early and wrap Randall Gay in bubble wrap for training camp?
There's a difference between what you'd pay a guy for one year vs. what you'd lock yourself into for 5.Feb. 2005 franchise for CBs was 8.8 mil, so it must be 9 or 10 mil now.
Remember, this is the same guy y'all wanted to dump up to a couple weeks ago.
Now he's worth almost 10 million per.

But I was Tag him hoping to either :
- Trade him for a mid #2 to low #3
- Retain his rights with the power tilting to the team to try to get a long term deal done.
If you just let him go as a UFA the best we'd get is a #4 pick in 2008. I am confident we could get a better pick than that in 2007 - much better. We could also control where he goes (aka out of the division).
What's the worst case ? He signs the Franchise offer and we're stuck overpaying him but just for one year.
The trade deadline has passed. I don't know when it starts again but once he hits FA we can't trade him unless we've tagged himJust saying, if the tag is real high, there isn't really a big advantage to us.
We could trade him without franchising him just as well.

I know we couldn't do that. He would have been a UFA and signed with another team by then. FA ends before the draft.We could trade him at the draft, I believe and Idon't know enough to argue further.

Yup, he's effectively a FA once the 2007 season starts except all FA's can only negotiate with their former team for the first two weeks until the FA period begins in mid March. 6 weeks before the draft.
The tag figures fluctuate depending on recent signings. This year CB was down substantially to $5.9M, but it could go up - no way to know until the league releases the figures because bonuses and extensions signed before the end of December will inflate guesstimates you could make based on current salary figures.
