would life be that bad..??

[xtheronx]

if we were to franchise peppers and gross.... and let teams sign both...

peppers.. we would get CRAZY draft picks for him.. most people think he's the best athlete in the NFL... and there will be a lot of teams pursuing him..

gross... reportedly .. the redskins want him... and they ALWAYS overpay...

we could potentially have picks GALORE.... that could either be used or traded....

i wouldn't feel like the sky is falling if this were to happen!

Why can't he just sign freaking Gross and franchise Peppers, and then trade him.

Why is this so hard for the front office.

Isnt there a franchise and a transition tag, or something to that effect?

Isnt there a franchise and a transition tag, or something to that effect?

yes but we can't do both.

here is an easy explanation of it.

A transition tag is a tool used by National Football League teams to retain unrestricted free agents. It guarantees the original club the right of first refusal to match any offer the player may make with another team. The transition tag can be used once a year by each club unless they elect to use a franchise tag instead. Transition tags can be rescinded, however, teams that rescind a transition tag cannot use it again until the next season.

If a player signs a contract after receiving the transition tag, his original team can not use the tag again on any player until the contract has expired. The exception is if the player first signs a transition offer sheet, which is a one-year contract equal to the average salary of the top ten players in the league at the player's position, or a twenty percent salary increase, whichever is greater.
