I dunno Branch didn't seem to take to kindly to the idea of being tagged.
Yeah there's a reason for the thread, to ask a question. I I know that probably went right over your head. Make sure to check my posts for spelling. Did you get mollested by your grammar teacher or something.
Samuels=pissed!!!
Is that a question? <(hint that is a question.)

I think he is annoyed by it but if you look at this way he is guaranteed 7.? million this season without doing anything other than signing his name. If he performs to a similar level next year he will be a FA again and either the Pats will have drafted his replacement and let him go or tag him again. Guaranting him another 8-9 mil, meaning he will either get the big FA contract (that he wanted this year) or at a minimum he is guaranteed himself at least 18 mil over two seasons - which will match or come close to matching the money guaranteed to the "biggest" FA's from this year and next.
He shouldn't be upset by this in the least. He should get annoyed if it happens 3 years in a row for a multitude of reasons, but not for a year or two.
What went over YOUR head is that he asked if you had a reason for the thread, ie, a reason for asking that question. Try and keep up.Yeah there's a reason for the thread, to ask a question.

The THREAD states the question. Jeez do I have to use pictures to explain it???

Anyway, you You could at least know the names of the players. If in doubt, ask ex-punter Ken Walters for help.
I'm guessing that's usually a cognitive aid in your case.
Home schooled?
If you can state the question, I guess I can question the state........
Or he destroys his knee in the first pre-season game and never plays again. If I were a player in the league I would be angry as hell if they slapped a tag on me; it inhibits my security long term.
However, that being said, from a team/fan perspective I would be totally ok with him walking and getting that draft choice. The draft choice brings better long term value for the team. Of course this is operating under the assumption the player drafted contributes to the team, and using our franchise as a model, the Patriots find great value in the draft.
some pats fan on another board i visit, expects him to hold out haha, i doubt he will.
Can we just call it a draw on the battle over thread grammar?
There is no penalty for holding out under the franchise tag; so with the bump in salary cap, the fact that he is coming off a career year, the Jets are looking for defensive playmakers & have the money, and Deion Branch got what he wanted by holding out - there is a lot of incentive for Asante to hold out for an extension. Even if he does though, it's hardly a worst-case scenario wince we are guaranteed not to lose him without compensation.

You can question a statement....sorry your hippy logic is hard to follow.
Look, enough OK.
You made a statement with 3 !!! that Samuel was pissed.
I don't think you know him, so I questioned why you would come to that conclusion.
Did he say he was pissed in an interview? Did he look pissed? That's what I meant.
