Sheldon Brown wants to be traded

[Displaced]

I would love to see the current sysem modified in such a way that the franchise tag actually meant just that.

Each team would be able to identify a "core" of ten players, five on offense and five on defense and pay them any amount they can negotiate with them and not have it count against their cap. 

This would allow teams to keep their good players that they have trained and made into good to great football players from simply jumping ship and making some other team better.

The league would still be highly compettitive as teams would have to be extremely careful which players they tag and such a system would have the added bennefit of spurring hours and hours of non-productive bloviating and opining about just who was included or left off the list.

Another added benefit is the fact that fans would have a more realistic oportunity to root for players rather than laundry.

Yeah and in Spudds piece he re-iterated Sheldon's statement that he would not be a distraction and then went on to say it was not known whether his asence was excused or not.  Kind of begs the question: how do you go about getting excused from a non-mandatory OTA?

Is Spads trying, as the mouthpiece, to stir up ill will against SB?

Attending a funeral is usually a good way to get permission. Your own funeral probably works best.

My bad IGY I assumed you said voluntary without reading carefully.  Yeah they are.  The point I was making was he didn't need an excuse but Spuds raised the question anyway.

High Douglas was on Fox29 and said he spoke with Sheldon, and this is a Family issue, not related to the contract.  Oh, and pigs fly
