             Huddle logic 

February : man it's a great idea to tag a kicker. 

October : Why the fug did we tag a kicker and not Norwell? Cam is going to die. 

Snake logic: We have a shade over $15M in cap space for next season as things sit now and factoring in the projected draft salary pool, so let's spend virtually all of it to tag a guard an pay him elite LT money!

Does that make it sink in just how dumb this idea is?

So once = “multiple times”?

He also tagged Norman but we all know how he ended up botching that. Why do you keep moving the goal posts? You said it's a sign of incompententcy when obviously it's not.  New England franchised their kicker THREE times for crying out loud.

That's it.... .Let's overpay a kicker because he was an alternater on the PRO BOWL.

The guy is 31 (in April) and we will make him top 5 pay.

Good Bye Andrew.  It was nice knowing you.  Gettleman will enjoy you in NY.

WTF is Hurney's infatuation with freaking kickers.  Good God we will probably draft another one for the PS.

I doubt that’s happening.. DG lovers pushing stories to make themselves feel better.

Tagging Norman and Short were for negotiating leverage.

It worked with Short.

When he realized that Norman and his agent weren’t going to negotiate and insisted upon the top $$$ he cut his losses and took the 3rd round pick.

Teams that have won multiple Super Bowls and are able to consistently win their division and have winning seasons have the luxury of tagging a fugging kicker.  Willing to bet that Belicik (1) wouldn’t have ever gone into the regular season with two kickers on his roster and (2) would have NEVER allowed an adequate cheaper option to walk over a much more expensive one. Belicik, unlike Ron, doesn’t suck his thumb and need roster security bkankets.

Its hilarious how you believe New England/Belicik is comparable to Carolina/Rivera/Hurney.  You’re delusional. The only thing they have in common is their participation in the same sport.

Keeping the history of this franchise under consideration - they are not shy about paying for a good kicker. 

So no matter how you feel about the situation, the franchise is operating b pretty normal - i.e. franchising the player to give them more time to work out a long term solution. Standard business procedure in the NFL when it comes to a player a team doesn't want to lose to free agency.
