Not a surprise at all. Smart move by Kansas City. I see them signing him to a big, long term deal.

They better hope so for what they gave up to get him.  I think the franchise tag should be only for players drafted by that team.  They should make that rule imo

I like that too

Seems like the right way to do it

Nope, but that's exactly the point. Everyone has so much money and there won't be enough players to spend it on, so there's gonna be a lot of players get paid that don't deserve it.

There's a very real chance that we get worse simply by letting Cam and Chark go, and not being able to sign guys even that good back.

The draft will be most important.  We have to have a good draft

The draft is always most important, but we needed to make some splashes in FA also.

Yeah I think we will get a few good players.

This is my big fear with not signing cam and chark back, granted there not too 5 players at there position but they are good reliable players we can’t afford to let go, as you say letting them go there is a very real chance at the end of free agency we get weaker and that’s a major problem for a team picking 1st for the second year running

I'm not to co concerned about Cam, that's what we drafted Little for

I'm hoping we go after OT Joseph Noteboom in free agency, no matter if we keep Cam Robinson or not.

You know I agree with that I've probably mentioned Noteboom more than everyone else here combined, but I've read that it is heavily expected that 1. the Rams will basically give him Whitworth's money after he retires to stay and be their LT or 2. he's going to be WAY more in demand than I originally thought.

I would still certainly go after him, but a Cam in the hand (on the franchise tag) is worth more than a Noteboom in the bush.

I totally agree. I just don't trust Baalke to keep Cam or go after Noteboom. We need one of these guys for the upcoming season.

I keep hearing rumors here in the Cincinnati area that the Bengals are gonna go hard after OT Terron Armstead and Center Ryan Jensen.

Yeah I've been hearing the Bengals and Armstead all offseason. PFT actually said the Jags were going to go after Jensen as well, along with many other teams. I don't see why we would win out over the contenders that went them, but fingers crossed I guess.

I actually don't want Jensen (or Scherff). We already learned from the Norwell mistake that paying a guard top money is dumb. No wink links, but also no exceptionally strong links. Especially not if it's a crazy high priced IOL.

Just read a nfln article pairing players with team and it had juju and us… he was injured a ton last year but I don’t think I would be completely opposed to the idea. They give no reason and I highly doubt it will happen but I don’t hate the idea.

Ju-Ju is an average WR, who'd rather goof around on Tik-Tok than practice his craft. He's very immature and just lacks that fire you wanna see in NFL players. I'll take a very hard pass.

I actually like that idea. I think the NFLPA would see that as a step forward since they hate the franchise tag to begin with.

So if a team trades for a player after a year (Brett Favre), or if a UDFA (Kurt Warner) or waiver wire player somehow becomes your most important player, a team shouldn't be able to franchise him....or that player could not reap the benefits of being a franchise player?

I'm not sure I agree with that, even though as a general rule, the players hate the franchise tag.

If we had a stud #1 WR that enabled JJSS to operate from the slot, I might be more open to it.

But I doubt he would come here anyway because he wants to have a high profile for his online persona, and I don't see him being a productive player as a #1 o3 2 WR.

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

I think you answered it there at the end. The players hate it because in virtually every situation said player is unafforded a more lucrative long term deal, not to mention the large risk of losing that long term deal in case of injury or poor performance while playing on the tag.

The NFLPA wants the tag eliminated period. This could be a compromise.

I agree. However the fa pool isn’t very large( I don’t think we have a shot at adams and godwin is tagged) so that leaves guys like juju, Chark and  potentially cooper if he gets cut. I’m all for drafting a guy but getting someone who can help immediately while we develope a stud imo is better than bringing a kid in and expecting him to be a #1 straight out the gate. That’s the better avenue imo. Marvin jones could be that guy too but he is absolutely a stop gap at best considering his age.

Like I said, I don’t love the idea but I’m not completely opposed to it. If juju gets his head together, the dude is young. He has a lot left he stays healthy and I have a lot more faith in our hc to handle players like him than I have had in the past.

Just food for thought
