It's easy, and only takes a few moments.A while back we franchised Tebucky Jones and then ended up trading him to New Orleans for a draft pick. Is there any reason why we couldn't do this with Asante Samuel this coming year? And, would we lose the franchise tag for the year? Your input would be enlightening and appreciated.
i dont think he played very well against jax its hard to tell but it seemd like he got burnt a couple times
That's basically been my point. If he signs the offer and you can't trade him then you overpay him - but just for one year. It's not like getting stuck with a bad 6 year deal.As for franchising Givens, isn't there a risk that you can't trade him and then you HAVE to pay him the franchise number? For WR I would think it would be huge, over 5M. But maybe for one year it wouldn't have been so bad.
But, getting back to Asante, much like Ty Law, after being beaten a few times, all of a sudden, there he is, cutting in front of a receiver and going downthe sidelines with another int. And, he has done that fairly consistently this season.
* Ty got beat once in awhile, but he covered much better and got beat less often than Samuel. And Ty was, and still is, a much better tackler.
