Call_Of_Ktulu Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 8 hours ago, JoPoy88 said: Unfortunately even if they don’t tag him, I don’t think the Bills are in play for him. I heard today they are working on an extension for Croom, of all people. (Radio, sorry no link on that rumor.) This is why he needs to be promoted to assistant nickle coach asap. Croom can't block, catch, run routes and has ball security issues. If we sign Croom we might as well sign Gore to a 3 year guaranteed contract.

thenorthremembers Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 They are working on deciding whether to keep Croom on as an exclusive rights free agent. I didn't get the sense from what I heard yesterday that the Bills were working on any kind of extension beyond that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt pretty calm in that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 22 hours ago, Smitty75 said: On which player could we use the franchise tag ? I’m curious to know what you guys think about that. I'd use the tag on Phillips, Lawson or Spain and at the same time cut Murphy. None of them are worth tag level money but I'd overpay any of these three for one year. I don't understand why they would not weaponize the tag to have at least some control. There will still be plenty of cap space left to sign any combination of free agents they want. By not committing beyond one year it leaves plenty of cap space next year for Tre and possibly Dawkins (I'd let Dawkins walk unless she takes a team friendly offer). If they get a bunch of guys in free agency they can rescind the tag if the players don't sign it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty75 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I was thinking of using it on Lawson or Phillips also, we gonna see what the F.O will decide about it. Phillips was more productive but Lawson still has room to improve, it's not an easy decision ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo86 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) Projected franchise tag numbers, per Over the Cap: Lawson (DE) - $19.3M Phillips (DT) - $15.5M Spain (OL) - $16.1M Definitely not. Edited March 13, 2020 by Buffalo86 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty75 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Ahaha i see that my opinion received great critics on this thread, otherwise i completely forgot that placing the franchise tag on a player could cost that much of money, so i retire what I say ! ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Graham did it one year, appealing to be a WR... I think he lost. Judon would theoretically have a better leg to stand on. Won't matter when he get's traded/signed long term. I am now officially done with the trade and tag. I think there should be penalties for teams that use the tag without signing players to long term deals. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Here's what I hate about threads like this, you have to search through the entire thread to find all the latest. Admittedly currently only 2 pages long, but many of these will become 50 page threads. Often see things pinned to the top like a poll, wondering if there's a way the summary can stay at the top. Obviously would require someone going in maybe couple times a day to update the latest, but would make it easier A ticker would be really cool with the latest that scrolls across. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Hunter Henry just tagged. Really sucks as he was my top FA target. What's the point of having over $90M in cap room if all the better FA's are tagged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
