Not having to franchise someone this year is a good thing. I’m actually shocked that Goodwin is open to the tag because he would make So much more money on the open market.

Maybe, but the WR market last year was pretty awful and unpredictable.

Plus he's coming off the pretty serious knee injury. I could see why he'd take the guaranteed 1 year but personally if I were him I'd be more concerned with who's gonna be throwing him the ball over a slightly lower annual average of a questionable market.

Thats the double edge sword with the tag. Yeah you get the money for a year but it’s a gamble that you could lose money for the next contract. There is a reason the players union hates the tag. Goodwin has the tape to show he’s a great receiver but if Kyle Trask is throwing to him next year teams are gonna knock him just for that year.

Agreed. Maybe his camp is betting on the cap raising to bump his AAV but I think I'd try the market personally.

2023 is shaping up to be a monster year for FA WRs, maybe that's what they're thinking.

It depends on how you define "more money."  Godwin will get no less than 120% of the value of his tag from last year, which means he's pushing $20M for a 1 year tag.  And it guarantees he will cash in next year, because they would owe him QB type money to tag him for a 3rd time.

      Updated 2025 draft order

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.

      Predictions for Brooks debut

      By CBDellinger · Posted

      6-10 carries for  35-45 yds and 3-5 catches for 15-25 would be great.
