How do we go about franchising him?
If the Pats sign Samuel quickly, they can turn around and re-use the tag on Graham.

Can they? Are you sure? I thought they could only designate one player a year as the team's franchise player.If the Pats sign Samuel quickly, they can turn around and re-use the tag on Graham.

You can rescind the TAG. The Seahawks did that with Hasselbeck and Alexander 2 years ago. I think it was because they got the deal done prior to the FINAL day. So the Pats and Samuel would have to get a deal done prior to the 22nd.
However, I can't see the Pats tagging Graham. I think they need to offer him a contract slightly above what they think his market value is so that he will stay. I love Graham, but he's not worth more than 3.5 mill a year at the absolute most.
Hasselback was never tagged. Their new GM signed him on the eve of the deadline and then tagged Alexander. And I beileve once you use the tag, even if rescinded, you cannot use it again that season.
Actually, as long as you rescind it before Feb 22nd, you can place it on another player. Pats1 mentioned this in another thread.

Where in the CBA does it say that??

Please show me in the CBA where it says that a team can negotiate compensation for a Franchised free agent prior to him signing with another team.
Please show me in the CBA where it says that they can't rescind the tag and use it on another player if its before Feb 22nd deadline.
