The beauty of it (unless I've been misinformed) is that 2010 and 2011 are uncapped years for the NFL... We can tag him again next year (for approximately 20 mil), as well as the year after (for approximately 24 mil), without any salary cap drawbacks... Then, when he is 32 in 2012 we can franchise him again (a 4th time), and trade him for whatever we can get for him, having effectively retained his services through the prime of his career...

The decision is not 100 percent about the non-capped year. If the NFL cannot reach an agreement with the players association, then it will be non-capped. I believe, but I am not 100 percent sure.

I THINK the deadline has passed for 2010, with 2011 now the target of the discussion... But, I too am not sure about this...

heh, cruel is definitely in the eye of the beholder... I can't imagine the definition of cruel being 20-24 million for 17 games... =)

Heck, if I was Pep, I would be PRAYING this is what happened... it would effectively be a 3 year $61 million contract! :eek:

It's my understanding that you can only tag a guy 2x.

Given the apparent lack of interest, I think it's much more likely that Peppers will change his mind a sign a contract with us.

Actually, upon further research, the limit is 3 times... So in my scenario we'd have to knock off the 4th year of it... Oh well, we'd still have him til he was 32... heh

I'm fairly certain that 2 years is the limit, but who knows in an uncapped year. It's time to renegotiation with the players association and all bets are off. We just don't really know what the rules are this year, but all bets on, all bets off, I'd say peppers and his agent fvcked themselves, nicely... :lol:

      The other draft picks have turned out pretty well. Brooks will too.

      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.
