I would tag Givens. Worst case, we pay a few million extra for one year but keep our #2 WR. He's probably a $2-$2.5M guy in my mind, paying him$5.8M for one year wouldn't kill us.
But it would give us time and probably a little negotiating power. Not that Givens would object to the $5.8M but he'd prefer a long term deal. It would also give us the chance to trade him to a team that can work out a deal.
We did this with Tebucky, I'd do it again.
I agree but that's a worst case. Far more likely is we would do a long term deal for far less per year or someone else would and we'd trade him.JR4 said:I'd rather see PATs use those Millions on improving the Oline. PATs can get a
#2 receiver for far less than 5+ Million.
You can do a search, Miguel posted the numbers, but it was very close to the Franchise number, something over $5M.FreeTedWilliams said:I think that Adam gets signed soon, does anyone know what the "Transitional" tag would cost for Givens?

JR4 said:My guess, just a guess, is other .... no one gets the tag.
unless im mistaken, if he signs the offer, then you are obligated to pay him... if we dont want to pay him the franchise number, then we'd have to find a suitor who WOULD pay him that number, PLUS give us picks... right? it could happen, but i would expect any offer of picks to very small. we did get something for tebucky; was that a different scenario?jeffd said:Tagging someone doesn't mean you have to pay him. You could always work out a trade for much less than the 2 1st rounders required to sign him away. The tag just allows the team to do something besides give him away.

Never mind.
