@RapSheet: At this point, it appears Dez Bryant & Demaryius Thomas will be the only WRs franchise tags. Not Jeremy Maclin, not Randall Cobb.

Packers potentially losing Cobb is interesting.

Yeah he's their Edelman imo.. Pats can't afford him tho

Not referencing Dmac Referencing Such which the poster suggested cutting Wilfork and moving on from Mccourty to get Suh.
I said would be nice but would never happen SUH is Indy or Seattle bound.

Seattle doesnt have the cap flexibility over the next few years to pull off Suh. And Indy has too many construction sites to cover, it would make more sense too get multiple great players than one elite player for that money.

Lions or Raiders...

Whatever happened to Andrew Luck getting that "blockbuster deal"? I remember it being reported around the time of the AFC champ game that he was gonna be getting paid big time now that he's eligible... Didn't happen I guess? "Sorry Andy, we know you deserve more money but we really want to blow that cash on some other guys."

Oakland, the land of 50% more money and 50% lower stats.

Really, though, an offense with Carr at QB, Cobb at WR, maybe Julius Thomas at TE and Latavius Murray at RB isn't bad at all IMO. The only thing needed then is a competent gameplan.

Frig off Jason

This isn't good the marketing would be ridiculous for twin nfl players on any team even in bumfuk TEN

Very. Hes a key guy for them. Not sure he is worth $13m though. Tough call.

Big money has different effects on different people. DMC has won a SB been to another, has 4 AFCCGs and in the playoffs 5 times. If the difference b/t/w the Pats & Titans is $5m guaranteed you question hid priorities. If it's $15m guaranteed then I don't blame him one bit for leaving.

If McCourty wants to sign with the Titans and spend the rest of his career with losing season after losing season on one of the two least relevant teams in the NFL, I wish him all the best.

Yes it is.

Didn't you hear? The Raiders are going to be much improved. Del Rio insisted on building a new locker room and weight facility.

Turns out the Raiders didn't have a place in the old one for the tree stump and the axe....

Officially: Dez Bryant, Justin Houston, Jason Pierre-Paul, and Demaryius Thomas have been franchise tagged, sources say.

Randall Cobb has Miami written all over him.

Gostkowski gets the tag

Pats tag Gost...McCourty hits FA now

That actually could be good news in terms of McCourty IMO.
Meaning either we have made progress in signing him or we have a plan ...
