DaBruinz was right the other night, Digger. The exclusive is almost never used because nobody other than a bonafide franchise QB is going to garner the 2 firsts anyway so no need to commit to pay more than you need to.
Well this is the least shocking thread ever.
More than likely they might have tried to work something out but couldnt come to terms.

Samuel reaction
The agent for Asante Samuel said his client is not upset about the Patriots placing the franchise tag on him.
"We don't look at it as a bad thing," Alonzo Shavers said on Friday night. "This is a step in the process in working toward a long-term deal."
Asked if Samuel would hold out, Shavers said: "That is not our intention at all."
Sweet Christmas, they could franchise me every year of my career for 1/10th of that.
By exclusive or non-excuslive, do we mean Franchise or Transition tags?
The Transition tag cannot be used anymore - due to the poison pill provisions that remain unaddressed, ensuring that a team that wants a player under the transition tag can offer a silly and unmatchable contract.
funny that both briggs and samuel occurred within the hour nowhere near the deadline
Mo I agree 100%. I don't think i disagreed with DaB, if I did i misunderstood his point.
The point is so many here are going to try to assume we will get an auto 2 first rounders if we trade Asante. That is no way close to true.
With that said, Asante will need direct permission to negotiate with other teams on the exclusive (normal) tag, or the Pats will handle trades themselves. The agent can do it automatically with the non-exclusive.
I am 99% sure that it is an exclusive tag. The 1% is laughing because BB wants to make a point.
Maybe the Patriots wanted Briggs? Who knows. We never will.

re: Graham:
When reporting on Samuel, NFL Network just said that the team has a two week window to negotiate with him but the sides are not close at this time.
