TheChimp Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Yeah, let's insult him even more than we did this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Fitzsimmons Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 on TO? Worth it? Signing another B-List head coach this offseason: 2 million dollars Choosing not to sign a competent GM: 0 dollars The look on T.O.'s face when we slap the franchise tag on him: Priceless In all honesty, T.O. probably wouldn't mind... he was forced to take a 1 year deal for 6 mil last year, and nobody was beating down his door. The type of coin he'd get from the franchise tag would be far and away more than he'd hope to score anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 It would be less painful for everyone else but TO to simply light $6.5 million on fire and watch it burn quickly, rather than watch it be wasted slowly over a period of 17 weeks.

silvermike Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I think the franchise tag will pay Owens at least $5M more than any actual team would next season. 37 year old WRs rarely collect $10M salaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDD Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 on TO? Worth it? Let the man go. He's been a good soldier while in Buffalo and has paid his dues here. Let him go to a real organization that has a chance to win and a QB who can throw a ball to a WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBaumer Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I can honestly say there is not one player on this team worth the tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dog14787 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I can honestly say there is not one player on this team worth the tag. I would tag Freddie if we had to because behind a good O-line Fred Jackson could really rack up some yardage in my opinion. Or how about Jauirus Byrd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let him go to a real organization that has a chance to win and a QB who can throw a ball to a WR. He had been a member of three such organizations and it didn't mean anything to him. This is a perfect and fitting end to his career---cast off to Buffalo...rendered completely insignifcant as the game passed him by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Trooth Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I don't think there's a franchise tag this offseason. The owners are voiding the CBA, which the franchise tag is part of. Even if there were a franchise tag, would you want to use it on a wr without anyone to throw it to them? A wr only gets 5-8 touches a game usually. And, with the probability of bringing in a new regime, is the coach going to want TO on the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbyte Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 There is a franchise tag in 2010 and 2 transition tags if there is no CBA in 2010. Plus all players have to have 6 years in to be FAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHayes Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 TO has had a mediocre season, so has our QB, O-line, RBs etc... He hasn't made things any worse and did not cost us that much. We all love Lee Evans and he is having the same mediocre season as TO. And if you go and play at Buffalo and manage to not make things worse...you have been more than successful.
