I think he's playing a dangerous game of poker!

I think Sharper is the one playing the really dangerous game. If he waits too long, Loomis may withdraw the contract offer that has been on the table since March. Sharper then may have to sign with a team offering no more than $1.8-2 million for one season. Rumor is Loomis' offer is for two years at @ $7 million total, or $3.5 million/year. It isn't $6.445 million for one year that the franchise tag would have gotten Sharper, but it's likely more than any other team would be willing to pay him.
