Trading for Tebucky?

Black and Blue - I think he meant that Colvin posted double digit sacks just like Clemons did at OLB two years ago, and that Colvin wouldn\'t be any better than Clemons was at MLB (I\'m assuming Lumm0x thought that Colvin would be moved to middle linebacker). I agree, although I think Colvin probably could have been an OLB for us. That\'s the problem with the guy though. The Saints like Allen and Hodge at OLB. I can\'t say I blame them. They\'re both young and seem to have potential and speed. If used right we could end up with two pretty good OLBs that were basically unknowns. Of course, the opposite is true too. They could end up being terrible.

GATOR - I like it!! But if they remove the franchise tag, why would we have to give up a pick? Couldn\'t we just sign him? I\'m confused with this situation.

He\'s franchise tagged right now, but why wouldn\'t we wait until they remove the tag?
