Yet the rest of the league both only thought of them as 6th round value? Fields also is NOT competing for the starting job. He was trade just like Mac to be a back up.
Once again HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY ARE NOT TRYING. right now the team is one of the worst there is too much unknown for players to take a risk. wait and see this time next year after they get their QB and it works out. This FA class kind of sucked the best players got tagged and the cap cuts have...
For all this talk here of jsut throwing money around how do you know the team has not tried? There is a good chance players just do not want to come here. a 1st year coach after one of if not the greatest of all time. An uncertain QB situation, that is a lot to consider
Of course there is a reason to use it. It is TOO MATCH. Players are not going to get offers with the franchise tag because teams are not going to give up 2 firsts. But the transition tag sets a price that allows the player to explore and the team to know the value.
How do you know it was only a "couple million bucks" were you at the negotiations? You know he only asked for that? The transition tag is better for the player if he wants offers then the franchise tag
The big difference is the signing team needs to give 2 first rounders to sign which keep teams from doing it usually. With the transition tag there is no draft picks so teams are more likely to try
Why would he be upset he still gets to go to the market and get a contract either he plays for that team at that contract or he plays for the pats at that contract. Teams do not guve anything up for the transition tag unlike the franchise tag
So you just are going to instantly assume that nothing is going on especially when the "legal" tampering period does not start till the 11th so he can still only talk to the pats
