Re: Pitta signs with Ravens looks like parameters set for TE contract?

"This time around, the Ravens did a deal that sidestepped the potential loss of a grievance that would have jacked up Pitta’s one-year take considerably. The next question is whether the Saints will put a large enough offer on the table in the next 72 hours to persuade Graham to give up his ability to argue that he’s entitled to an eight-figure salary in 2014 and to accept the significant long-term security that comes from a deal that splits the difference annually between $6.5 million and $11 million."

Pitta’s deal reflects tight end franchise tag | ProFootballTalk

Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over, over, and over again...and expecting a different outcome!

Re: Pitta signs with Ravens looks like parameters set for TE contract?

Franchise tag kills our cap, with way to much left to do. Loomis can not work with a FT, the number is what it is for that year, and it is guaranteed. It also sets the stage for this same exact scenario next season.

Watch, Jimmy will not be tagged. They will either hammer out a contract that Loomis can work with or Jimmy will walk.

Tag will be temporary. Deal will be done AND free agents will be signed.

I meant one is an All-pro who doesn't block, the other has 11 career TD's and can block.
No use comparing the deals when the players are so different.
