Yannick, Jack, and Ramsey are due for extensions and potentially Fowler’s 5th year option. If you tag him that’s less money available to rollover to extend these guys.

Whoo boy so now we're saying don't spend because we have to save money to roll over? We just saw the peak of this window if so.

If you tag him you now have 13 million in cap space (3 million in cap and 10 million in rollover) to try to fill in the remaining offseason needs (potentially OL, SLB, TE) and still look at extending your other guys that are due. Kind of puts you in a bind doesn’t it? 

I’m sure the team offered him a fair contract. Hell they were negotiating in camp last year and Robinson decided to bet on him himself. It backfired.  Why are you mad at the team?

Quote: Robinson passed on a long-term deal during training camp last year. The team and his agent didn't re-enter negotiations until last week's NFL Combine.
