LabattBlue Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 When F/A started there was a lot of talk that somebody would gobble up Franks. What happened? I know he has the transition tag on him, but the sentiment was that the Packers wouldn't be able to match any offers for him due to cap problems? Is he not the player that some touted him to be? I have never been that impressed by him except to say that he seems to be a good "red zone" target. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 1) can't run 2) terrible hands 3) bit of a whiner 4) couldn't produce in Brett Favre's offense = probably won't produce in yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 old & expensive 306889[/snapback] He's only 27 years old and the franchise tag at the TE position is about $2.2M. So he's not old and shouldn't be particularly expensive. I'm guessing that he's simply not viewed as worthy of making top dollar at the position and the transition tag effectively ended any outside interest in him.
