What you are thinking of is a non-exclusive franchise player, and it is two first round picks. A transitional tag is somewhat similar to a non exclusive franchise player, but the team gets nothing if it doesn't match the offer.

Nope. Remember, tags are there to gently caress players over, not help them out.

Ok, sure. Not big players in FA? Licht you lying sack of poo poo.


It sounds as if they're going to to cut Penn if they sign Anthony Collins and ditto for Zuttah if they sign Evan Dietrich Smith. All signs point to them transitioning to a zone blocking scheme next year.

The Bills' GM had to formally tell the press that the blizzard in Buffalo is impeding their free agent search. What's God's opinion of the Bills again?

Captain Munnerlyn and Henry Melton are both meeting with the Vikings on Thursday. Munnerlyn is only 25 and would be a big upgrade as a slot corner, though the Vikings would still need a starting RCB. Josh Robinson could fill that role, but I think it is likely that they'll draft a corner early in the draft. Melton would be brought in as DT depth and would presumably be looking for a short term deal.

I am curious if they would use Melton to run some more 3-4 looks or set up big bodies across the line while moving Griffen/Robison around the field.

Munnerlyn is appealing - would also be nice if they'd look into DRC.

You seriously need to up your dose of Haldol. They're looking at two of the better WRs on the market and that's the biggest need on the team (Besides QB) by a mile. What more do you want?

Yep seems possible. More interestingly now that the Bucs have effectively filled all the major roster holes they can do whatever they want in the draft. I'm betting if any of Manziel, Bridgewater, or Bortles falls to them the Bucs will take him. Maybe even Carr.

Personally, I'd like them to have had looked at the defensive players on the market, considering the wealth of WR talent in the draft, and the complete lack of it that's available in free agency.

Well yeah but only because the rest of the line is bargain-basement garbage leftover from the Shanny Broncos.

Also apparently Ryan Clark is visiting Washington? I mean he's a safety sure, but he's also a pretty old and mediocre one.

They really don't have to get rid of Koenen. He's an above average punter but also an excellent kickoff specialist. 3 million probably isn't going to make them or break them especially since they still have 12 million left and if Relentlessboredom is right about cutting Zuttah and Penn to replace them with those other guys then that's not going to go down much. The only other guys they're looking to sign at that point are a wide receiver and possibly another corner who probably won't chew up more than 7 of that 12 million between them. That leaves 5 million for rookies which is just about right.

Man, there's some serious loving turnover on the roster though. There's going to be at least 7-8 new starters next year by my count.

Melton has absolutely no use to anyone in a 3-4. He is a 3 Tech DT Full Stop.


If the Vikings are switching to a 3-4 and picking up Melton then they have fuucked up.

Almost the entire o-line, prob QB, 1-2 CBs, maybe TE, DE, and maybe WR. Yep that's a shitload of turnover. Although they've been acting as if they were going to completely rework the roster. At least none of the moves have been ridiculous and Verner is a downright fantastic signing.

No worries, I was seriously confused that KC signed a DT. I think Mays was the one PFF called a secret superstar for the Broncos a few years back since he's such an effective run stopper. Unfortunately he blows at everything else.

Yeah, I'm pleasantly surprised so far. I was sort of expecting a disaster, especially with Licht being another New England product and after his introductory press conference in which he came off as completely amateurish. The proof will be in the play next year, but right now I'm cautiously optimistic.

The only thing that has me concerned is with them spending up to the cap limit is it will leave no money to renegotiate McCoy and David next year. But I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Eh, the Packers have always signed 1-2 veterans who could maybe turn it around in free agency every season. Pickett, Woodson, Koren Robinson, Saturday, Benson, and so on.

Even if they were planning on picking up a few vets this offseason, I can't see the Packers participating in the first-weekend buying frenzy. I'll expect some signs to be made next week.

Also, any Packer fan going full retard about Ted Thompson not overspending in free agency needs to take a deep breath and remember that he's done an excellent job keeping the Packers competitive in spite of bleeding talent and an appalling amount of injuries.
