it's good to have all this information in one place
i'm so proud
also, don't expect him to keep this thread updated
if you makes you feel proud Dio, youre the first person i thought about when I made this thread
now that I think of it..youre the first person I think about when i go to bed too....uh oh.
Of course you did, of course you do. I was right, and I'm hot as balls.
Now if you ever want of piece of me, you'll assume responsibility for keeping this thread updated so that people like my sweetie pie SunMo can quickly find the info they need, all in one place.
Dio, from reading all your posts all these years Ive realized a couple of things-you know how to read...you have a computer....and you look at sports sites
that being said...if you or anyone else see somebody get tagged before I do, please do keep Mo proud and place it in this thread..thanks
Give me your password and I'll do what you ought to do...maintain a list in the opening post.
I'm going to start a new thread every time I see that someone else got tagged. Just a heads up.

everytime you do that, i'll play with my turkey bag
every time you do that, I will vomit
funny you say that because if Dio was as organized as he says he is there would be a separate thread for each individual on the Eagles roster--for better reference and structure

Cassel tagged by the Patriots (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3887262)
get crackin' boy
Too bad he can't spel.
you make me so happy Reese
Brandon Jacobs (http://www.giants.com/news/headlines/story.asp?story_id=35423)
the Falcons had no one better to franchise than their punter?
I've seen speculation that the Lions will tag their place kicker and since Haynesworth can't be tagged, I don't think anyone other than Rob Bironas would be worth the Titans tagging.
All I can say is I'm glad the Eagles have Dorenbos locked up for the next several years so we don't have to worry about all the acrimony and training camp media circus that would inevitably ensue with him getting franchised.
Eagaholic is working on the funny.
I think it needed more work
It still does.
Shayne Graham (http://www.bengals.com/news/news.asp?story_id=7503) (not TJ)
Karlos Dansby with his 2nd franchise tag
probably because the Cardinals were too cheap to tag Warner (who I doubt will retire).
Not a done deal, but GM Ozzie Newsome says the Ravens will tag Suggs
http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/02/17/ravens-will-tag-terrell/
Suggs a done deal
Antonio Bryant tagged as well
Sproles
Oshiomogho Atogwe
Now you're just mashing on the keyboard.
nah, that's the guy who is going to make him rich with 39,000,000 dollars US from an overseas frozen account that they need help moving here. Ed is about to be a very rich man.
awesome. lemme get my routing info...
Two more: Bo Scaife and Dunta Robinson
Peppers tagged. I was totally stoked because it meant Gross would be coming free. Then I read the next paragraph that said Gross just worked out a new deal. shtein.
Seahawks tag LB Leroy Hill.
Steelers tag Max Starks
The agent for Antonio Bryant says his client is upset with being franchise tagged and doesn't plan to sign the one-year, $9.884 million tender.
"He deserves security," the agent said. "He puts his body on the line. He thinks he deserves...not to play year-to-year like he did last year. They can put the franchise tag on him, but we don't have to sign it."
I think a couple of heads should do this. Sure you get paid a nice chunk of change, but the risk here is far greater than the reward-- getting hurt in one year and your shot at security is down the tubes. farg some of these teams not having the balls to dish out the loot for solid players. Its like a sit and wait to get hurt game for these execs. not having to pay a bigger guaranteed bonus
With NFL contracts not being guaranteed, does a multi-year deal really provide security?
The security stuff they talk about is just the unconditionally guaranteed money, and I think there is a fair amount of bullshtein around this driven by the agents because they only get paid out of the guaranteed amount.
Take the below example of Antonio Bryant. Once he signs off on his tag tender, his nearly $10 million is fully guaranteed. That is life security right there and about the same as the signing bonus he would get anyway on a 4 year contract.
Maybe he wants to see if he can get a jackpot payday somewhere else (and I don't really blame him) but I will bet it's also the agent in the player's ear. The agent wants to get another hundred grand, whether it's it helps the player that much more or not, so he will push for free agency.
Call me crazy but I don't think Bryant is in a position to be making demands. He's had one good year after several non-existent years with lots of personal baggage in tow. He's got a guaranteed $9+mil with the franchise. Is he really going to get much more than that in guaranteed money on the open market?
Probably the Bucs are tagging him because they want to see what he can do in back to back seasons before offering a big contract. Especially after seeing how their one and done phenom Michael Clayton is now history.
this I agree with...but my point is more geared towards dudes that are tagged back to back seasons or players that have done well multiple seasons and get hit with the tag- the team fully knows what to expect.
the back to back tag is a bunch of shtein in the respect that if a player is that good to you can bet the "guaranteed" bonus will be much bigger on the open market than the tender they have to sign

Neither is Dunta Robinson who is crying about being lied to about not being tagged.
Dude blew his leg up two years ago and was not full strength last year and is bitching about being guaranteed about 10M a year.

QuoteJulius Peppers' stalemate with the Carolina Panthers is over, leaving the defensive end rich and the NFC South champions free from worrying about a holdout. Peppers signed his one-year, $16.7 million tender on Wednesday, five months after the four-time Pro Bowl selection first announced he wanted to play elsewhere next season.
