Re: Mike Lombardi: Cassel to be franchised
It will be interesting to see the NFL and the Players Association reactions if this happens. A lot of people will see it Spacecrime's way; that this is a backdoor way of undermining Free Agency. Players already hate the Franchise tag and with the CBA up in the air Goodell might worry. Also the anti-Patriots commentariat will use this as yet another reason to bash us. Funnily, I don't think BB has given any of these things a moments thought.
