Raiders place franchise tag on Asomugha
2008-02-21 14:05:00 The Oakland Raiders placed a franchise tag on cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, two people familiar with the process told the San Jose Mercury News.The Raiders will pay Asomugha the average of the five-highest-paid cornerbacks next season — at least $9.8 million. The tag also prohibits other teams from negotiating with Asomugha. The Raiders and Asomugha are expected to continue working toward a long-term contract. Asomugha, 26, voided the final year of the six-year contract he signed as a rookie so that he could fetch a salary commensurate with his standing as one of the NFL's top cornerbacks. He was scheduled to earn a base salary of $820,000 this year. He earned $1.23 million in 2007.

Indianapolis Colts place Franchise Tag on TE Dallas Clark
2008-02-20 04:22:00 As expected, the Indianapolis Colts placed their Franchise tag on TE Dallas Clark today. This all but makes him completely unavailable this off-season. Teams can still attempt to sign the Tight End, but two 1st Round Draft Picks would be forfeited should said team be able to sign Clark. I, along with 99.9% of the NFL community, never expected Dallas Clark to see Franchise-Tagless Free Agency this off-season. Had he hit the market, that would have been as stunning as a certain TE hitting the market last friday thanks to Atlanta trying to remove any fan appeal from their football team. There's no way I can argue that the Bucs should give up two 1st Round Draft picks to acquire Clark, a Top Flight Wide Receiver who's name rhymes with Hitzgerald maybe, but not a Tight End. Especially when you-know-who is on the market and only cost $money$ .... Dang you Indy, dang you!

Jared Allen: "Slapped" with Franchise Tag
2008-02-19 03:09:00 Update [2008-2-18 22:7:39 by River City Rage]:: Per PFT, the Chiefs used the "non-exclusive tag", meaning that the Jaguars could still be in play. Dumb, methinks, on the part of the Chiefs. Clearly they are not serious about keeping Allen. It's Official. Jared Allen has been given the Franchise Tag by the Kansas City Chiefs. What is unclear is if the Chiefs used the "exclusive" tag, which pays Jared more money (for one season) but makes it impossible for other teams to even try and get him, or the "non-exclusive", which lets other teams sign him, they just have to give the Chiefs two first round picks. Now, I've said this before and I'll say it again. If we're going to use our first round pick on a Defensive End, why not go after Jared Allen? We're going to spend a first round pick and 11-12 million dollars (7-8 mil guaranteed ) on pick 26, why not use that toward signing Allen, getting a known quantity at DE rather than an unproven rookie, and we los...

L.J. Smith Gets Franchise Tag
2008-02-08 01:30:00 The Eagles placed the franchise tag on L.J. Smith, taking one step towards securing the tight end position for the 2008 season.Just to clarify for those that might not be very familiar with the "non-exclusive" franchise tag, this means that Smith was offered a 1 year tender with the Eagles, for $4.522 million, the averaged salary of the top 5 paid tight ends in 2007.So now the ball is in L.J.'s court, if he decides to sign the 1 year tender he will be under contract for at least 1 more season (technically that's not the case because NFL contracts aren't guaranteed but for a player of his caliber, if he signs the deal he'll be here for a year). Obviously this is not his ideal situation, he wants to sign a big contract and get a nice signing bonus, but this is a step in the right direction towards getting that long term deal.From the Eagles perspective, if they could get Smith to sign the deal and than see how he plays for a season before giving him a long term contract, that woul...

Lance Briggs, the Bucs, and the Franchise Tag
2007-05-19 00:56:00 I’ve been wanting to comment on this story for some time (since March actually), but the St. Pete Times, Orlando Sentinel, and Tampa Tribune made it almost impossible to get a word in with their SUPERB coverage of the Bucs off-season. Without their coverage we might have been stuck discussing training camp jerseys, Gene Deckerhoff, and recent music releases ….. wait. With this off-season I would venture to say that the NFL’s has rivaled that of MLB’s off-season. On with the story, the Chicago Bears put the franchise tag on LB Lance Briggs immediately after the season ended. Lance Briggs immediately responded by saying he would not play for the Bears ever again: "I've played my last snap for them. I'll never play another down for Chicago again." – source FoxSports.com When a player is franchised, he loses out on the complete freedom that unrestricted free agents enjoy. The franchised player loses the opportunity to represent himself and attempt to receive the highest possible ...
