It's official Saints Pick 16th

I\'m with you on this BMG.

I\'d rather trade Howard for an extra pick rather than to move up (unless we can get one of those top two LBs).

It\'s pretty high risk, but I\'m open to franchising Howard and then shopping him.

I wonder if KC would be willing to give up 2 #1\'s for him?

No way...Hes good but not that good. We\'ll be lucky to swap firsts and move up about ten spots

If a team franchises a player the player\'s salary is set, but could the team require another to pay less than the 2 #1s for a trade? I don\'t know the rule, but as long as the player is compensated as per the rule and the teams negotiate a trade where both are happy, would that be allowed?

Buffalo did it with Peerless Price WhoDat. He was franchised but they did not get two number ones from the Falcons. The pick compensation can be worked out between the teams.

Kool, back to being taboo is Brooks-Delhomme. It is off limits. Other than that everything is fair game as far as I know.

Franchise tags can be removed, up to a certain date.

Thanks Whodi.

Also, Danno, thanks for the info.
