Stop Everything, Franchise Tag to be in play?!

[Nicbsbll2]

if the panthers tag Kalil they would have to pay him big money.(like LT money) it would be better off signing him to a long term deal.

The whole intent of tagging Kalil would basically be just to block him from going elsewhere while we work on a long term deal for him. If he actually played under the tag, then that would be a massive failure by the FO.

i can see that.the FO has it's work cut out for themselves.

Right...Johnson isn't worth the franchise tag as DE.

Kalil is the most likely candidate.

Wrong again...

Only D-Will is worthy of being a top 5 player at his position...

[Dpantherman]

since we are still on a cba is there any way we could sign him before march 3?or is jerry not going to do so.

No, but contrary to popular believe, he isn't the only owner operating that way.

but some owners did give extensions during the season.was there a cut off date or something?

Would end up having to pay more for Kalil with franchise tag than probably a RB...

I would tag kalil over williams if it didnt cost us 10.1 mil to do so. *** that.

yeah, and you can't trade Kalil for what you can trade DWill for...

[The Saltman]

I wouldnt want to trade kalil.

[pantherclaw]

It always has been. I tag Dwill, someone will want him. The team tagging does NOT have to accept two firsts for the player, they can accept whatever they want so it can be less.

The team does have to wait until the player signs the tag, to even entertain any trade proposals.

No team is desperate enough to give up compensation for a franchised back that is 28 years of age, and hasn't completed a season in 2 years.

But keep hoping man...nothing like grand delusions.

Okay, say. The team tags him, and knowing richardson isn't going to sign off any contracts until there is a new cba, what happens if the cba doesn't get done in time for a new long term contract to get worked out. Will you still blame the front office?

Deangelo has value on the open market. Not a lot of teams would be clamoring to trade for a RB, especially not one that is 28, possibly 29 if there is a lockout. Name me the last RB that was traded away for a #1+, which is what some of you think D-Will is worth. We would be lucky to get a 3rd for him.

Kalil may not be worth 10.1 milion RIGHT NOW, but someone would ****** him up in a heartbeat because he most likely will be worth that in the not too distant future.

Johnson probably has more value than most of you realize. He may not be the flashy type of player but any DE that can rack up double digit sacks is a big time commodity in the NFL.

[pantherclaw]

Kalil very likely will become the highest paid center in the league.

Fans should be prepared for that fact.

[thunderraiden]

I would expect Ryan Kalil to be tagged. If JR lets Hurney even use the tag..

can't tag kalil without tagging him left tackle contract money. it is a 100% certainty they wont tag him.
