2006 Franchise and Transition tenders

His miss two weeks ago counted. To me it did, anyway.

I am sure that field goal was the reason we lost, the five freaking tuenovers had nothing to do with it.

Come on - AV is as good as it gets, especially in the clutch. Do you really want to go through a season where every single field goal becomes an adventure? Good (nevermind great ones like AV) ars are really hard to find, we are lucky. Don't you think he will be scooped up in a New York or Dallas minute if we let him? What doe that tell you?

I agree - but I still don't want to pay him over $2M a year.

If the numbers remain the same next year, it would not matter what position Seymour was classified under because a 20% raise over his 2006 cap number (or $8.9 million) is greater than the franchise number for both the DE and the DT position.

A 3-4 end like Richard Seymour has been in the past classified as a DE when it comes to the franchise numbers.

Seymour's 2005 cap number was the 9th highest among defensive ends and was used to determine the transition tag number for defensive ends.

If the Pats use a 3-4 scheme in 2006 and if Seymour continues to play as the RDE in that scheme, it seems safe to say that he will be considered as a DE when it comes to his franchise tag number.
