RE: Franchise tag and transition tag prices
Yeah only thing I'll miss about Joe is his mentorship with the WRs and Reggie. Other than that we can't justify keeping him for that price tag. Charles Grant will be here, with or without that franchise tag.

RE: Franchise tag and transition tag prices
Someone will take a gamble on Horn. He is still a great possession receiver, and would work well in a system, where he is the 2nd, or 3rd WR. I hope he's not one of those players, that saves his best game for the Saints every year. I really hate to see him go.

Re: Franchise tag and transition tag prices
Wide receivers will carry a franchise tag of $7.613 million and a transition tag of $7.040 million.
I have a lot of respect for Horn and would hate to see him go. That said, he is 35 years old and has caught exactly 5 TDs in 2 years. What kind of money does that command? Is Joe just playing hardball early on, or is he really going to hold out for tag-like money? |

Wouldn't that free up the money to get someone like Clements and a mad dog MLB while still letting us draft quality players to help out the D and WR spots?
I say leave the TE spot alone. Miller and Campbell did well this year and our recievers are top passing options. I'd also keep Fred Thomas around as a nickel back and to add depth to the secondary. |
