All the franchise tags are being applied now. Mike Wallace will be franchised as will Drew Brees and Ray Rice. IMO, Dwayne Bowe will be franchised as well.

Mario Williams will become a FA and get paid a shitload from a team with plenty of room under the cap (please be Denver).

Soft market for FA's this year. Big name FA's will likely not get the money they are after.

@JasonLaCanfora: In addition to Ward and Aaron Smith, Kemoeatu also told by PIT he won't be back. One LB, Farrior or Foote, also likely to go #insideslant

Desean Jackson and Tyvon Branch have so far received franchise tags

ESPN http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7633206/pittsburgh-steelers-franchise-wr-mike-wallace-source-says are reporting they will not franchise Wallace.

 

[legend]

They will place a first round tender on him. Is he worth that? Maybe to a team who really need a home run WR and are prepared to part with a first round pick. Personally, I don't see it.

I'd be more than happy for the 49ers to give up #30 for Wallace

At least your team figures in the hunt for FA's. Unless they are cheap, or are talent with major issues which drives there price down, we get nothing. I would love to see some big name FA's come across to the Bengals.

As a Bengals fan, I don't want any team to take him off the Steelers hands. The way the Steelers are setup with the salary cap at the moment, means there is a big downfall coming. Currently all they are doing is transferring there problem to next season. I don't want the Steelers to get an opportunity to rebuild quickly that aging squad with extra first round draft picks.

i dont know if any team will have a crack at wallace if a first round tender comes. The reciever market is strong, even accounting for the tags.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

Id love to see the pats use 31 on him, what else you going to get better

 

[dogslife]

Falcons probably going to tag Brent Grimes

 

[Cupid Stunt]

Off topic, but all this thread does is make me want to play some more NFL FF. I think I need to type up a stern email in regards to there being only 17 rounds...

 

[Monk]

if only there was an offseason FF...

I think he would be worth a late 1st round draft pick.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

Thats why i want the pats to go after him with pick 31 or 27 depending on the rules

 

[Raider_69]

The pats wont make that move, and nor should they
their offense is good, they need a deep threat sure but they can find a guy with speed via the draft in the middle rounds to stretch the field

the pats need to upgrade their defense if they want to be SB champs, to waste a first round pick on bells and whistles like Wallace, instead of addressing the real needs within the team goes against everything Bill stands for

he will trade one of the first round picks, probably trade back with the 2nd and load up on Defense.

Skins tag Fred Davis..... interesting move, though with the success of certain TE's this season it is not surprising.

Hope he gets his off field shit sorted.

I suppose 'skins had to tag someone.

[Raider_69]

Davis is the skins best receiver right now but i think the cap hit is over the top, so i think the skins need to work on a long term to get that number down. He's not worth tag money

although the weak TE class in this years draft has enhances his value
