A few minor edits here. First the tag was non-exclusive. Second I wasn't correct about being able to sign the tender and continuing to negotiate. Finally the signing deadline is July 15th, not June.

I certainly hope that he has gotten that foot straight.

And not a single peep of an offer from any of the other 31 teams during the entire time. 2 #1 picks is just too pricey.

And this is exactly how it has played out with the addition of the hearing and the ruling which simply clarified the franchise tag value.

Ya think?

You just spoiled the ending. But, then again, there is almost as much uncertainty as the final scene of a typical Gilligan's Isle episode.

You mean where the crew is just about to get off the island... and then they don't? I know what you mean.

I said in February that anyone annoyed with this process could simply ignore everything until the week of July 7th. Looks like I'm right on the mark...
