We can not franchise Howard, cause more than likely we will have to franchise LeCharles to get him to stay. I am nit certain on the ins and outs of the transition tag, but if it givesus his rights, we could work out a contract with him that meets the approval of whatever teams wants to trade for him, like the Bronos did when they traded Portis. The bottom line is though, we should have dumped him last year, and now we are in a tight spot.

We also can not trade him before the contract runs out. Trade deadline prevents that. At the end of the season(after the super and pro bowls), he will be a FA.
