Dumb dumb dumb

Agreed. You tag him at the minimum. He either plays or doesn't get paid, gets paid or gets traded away for more value. They can tag him again in 2021. 

I would like for him to remain here. We'll see how Caldwell manages this situation now with Tom out of the picture. 

Hopefully a deal is struck either way via trade or extension before the draft though. Otherwise names like Yetur Gross-Matos & A.J Epenesa will start coming up a lot when the 9th pick rolls around.

It's a shame that this team has a potential Dwight Freeney & Robert Mathis combination on their hands between Yannick Ngakoue & Josh Allen and they're on the verge of losing it. The only thing better than having one solid pass rusher is having as many as you can possibly afford and fit onto your active roster.

Exactly... we hold the power. If he absolutely refuses to play for us we tag and trade at bare minimum but only for a first rounder imo.
But I highly doubt Yan is going to refuse a tag and not play in 2020 at all just to play hard ball on contract. I think he'd play on the tag and drive his price higher.
How often has a player skipping a whole season happened... like 5 times ever? Bell being the only one since 98. I really don't think it worked that great for him.
Clowney I suppose was going to but they tagged and traded him. Though BoB didn't get proper value imo. We can not settle the way Houston did.
