The Tag
Lots of talk about cutting, restructuring, drafting, etc..
Here is a not well covered topic. Who do the New Orleans Saints Franchise Tag this season. List of possibles below along with going rated for Tags in certain positions. R. Bush J. Bushrod J. Casillas C. Daniel B. De La Puenta J. Drescher S. Ellis J. Galette D. Henderson M. Higgins R. Humber C. Ivory E. Mack T. McBride W. Robinson C. Robey E. Olsen S. Shanle Or do we FT No one FT numbers for the 2013 season: CB: Franchise: $10.668 Transition: $8.939 DE: Franchise: $10.984 Transition: $8.994 DT: Franchise: $8.306 Transition: $6.919 K/P: Franchise: $2.926 Transition: $2.654 LB: Franchise: $9.455 Transition: $8.216 OL: Franchise: $9.660 Transition: $8.560 QB: Franchise: $14.642 Transition: $12.845 RB: Franchise: $8.079 Transition: $6.851 S: Franchise: $6.798 Transition: $5.899 TE: Franchise: $5.962 Transition: $5.105 WR: Franchise: $10.357 Transition: $8.716 |
Re: The Tag
I don't see a Franchise Tag on that list. Transition on a couple of guys... maybe.

Re: The Tag
Shanle :dunce:

Re: The Tag
I don't think the Saints can afford to franchise anyone. Along with upgrading the defense, whatever cap space the Saints can free up between now and next offseason will likely be used on locking up Graham. Can't see us slapping the tag on somebody like Bushrod just to over pay him for one season.
They'll either sign him long term (which I don't expect) or they'll let him go. No one else on that list is close to being worth the FT. Transition tag for Ivory is a possibility, I suppose. |
Re: The Tag
No one is worth the franchise on that list.

QB: Franchise: $14.642 Transition: $12.845
DE: Franchise: $10.984 Transition: $8.994 CB: Franchise: $10.668 Transition: $8.939 WR: Franchise: $10.357 Transition: $8.716 OL: Franchise: $9.660 Transition: $8.560 LB: Franchise: $9.455 Transition: $8.216 DT: Franchise: $8.306 Transition: $6.919 RB: Franchise: $8.079 Transition: $6.851 S: Franchise: $6.798 Transition: $5.899 TE: Franchise: $5.962 Transition: $5.105 K/P: Franchise: $2.926 Transition: $2.654 That low safety tag is why you won't see any of the upper tier safeties available in free-agency. They will all re-sign or be tagged. It also illustrates the importance of the front end and CB's compared to safeties. |
Re: The Tag
Blow it up. I agree with bm, no one worth either trading or franchising.
|
Re: The Tag
Not one name on that list is worthy of the franchise tag. Not one person.
In fact we don't need to be holding onto players. I believe that we need to jettison a large number of our under performing players. Gone. Gone. Gone. Smith, Vilma,(who I love but doesn't fit the 3-4) Ellis, both of the Patricks, Harper, Jenkins, Bushrod, Shanle and well you get the idea....... |
Re: The Tag
If I had a gun to my head and had to pick it would be B. De La Puenta.
