It shouldn't have to come down to franchising him. They should be able to get the deal done without having to use it. Good Front offices get this **** taken care of!!! The Rebuilding thing is an excuse, keep the good talent, go out and sign good Free Agents when possible and Draft Well. This team can turn it around with another solid draft, keeping the good talent they do have and Signing some good Free Agents in the Offseason. It's a recipe of success in the NFL. Somehow the Bozos in our FO haven't figured this out? Ridiculous...
