but two hawks is better than 1 hawk and 1 jones
Obviously there is a price point where I'd be happy to bring him in. He's not the biggest or the fastest, doesn't make a lot of plays, and is pretty shitty in coverage but he's steady, durable, and a class act. I have a feeling he'd prefer to go back to a 4-3 though. Probably going to be a Viking.

I hear the Cardinals have just set up a visit for him, guess that means they are letting Dansby walk.
I'll drink to that. Preferably, a White Russian.

i'm guessing this thread is for all teams, right? not just the packers?
here comes the big fight
reports say that the saints are going to tag jimmy graham

Neither rumor nor speculation (need a new thread?)

Seahawks officially have released defensive end Red Bryant and wide receiver Sidney Rice, the team announced.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
At first I was excited until I remembered the Patriots safeties have been terrible too.

That looked like a real possibility.

graham was officially tagged
him and his agent have huff and puffed the last month or two that they would take the saints to the courts if he was tagged as a TE
same thing finley said he would do a couple years ago if tagged
they feel like they should be tagged at the WR about rather then the TE amount because graham lines up off the line more then on it
btw, the wr numbers is almost twice as much as the TE tag
I've heard that Jackson makes a lot of tackles ...... 5 yards and more down field. seems we already have that.
The Saints dont determine at what position he is franchised, the league office does. If they determine his tag number is a WR number (according to the language in the CBA he will be a WR), the league will reject the franchise designation. The Saints do not currently have enough cap space to tag at the WR amount.
In short, get your popcorn ready.

cool news, i didn't know the nfl was the ones who decide the tag positions and numbers
I'll place this here as there is a precedent:

The Graham situation is confusing right now...the Saints have applied the non-exclusive tag to him. At PFT they seem to be assuming it will be the WR tag that applies, quoting his upcoming salary as $12.3M, and talking about how the exclusive tag would've been higher based on Wallace/Johnson/Johnson/Harvin/Jackson contracts.
Hard to see where this goes. Once the league determine which tag applies, do the Saints have an opportunity to withdraw the offer? They might well want him as a TE, but not so interested in a big slow $12M dollar guy.

Imagine for a moment a world without hypothetical situations...
The big disparity btw TE and WR tags may require the creation of a new designationfor recievers.
A flex or rover spot where the tag would be midway in between WR and TE.
Perhaps if the TE position becomes a bigger weapon league-wide, the salaries will increase and so will the tag amount. The player pretty much should accept his designation and tag amount. If he doesn't like it, he can hold out. TEs coming into the league, if they want WR money, should compete with other WRs.

lets look at it another way. if he is a WR like he seems to think he is, and should be paid like a WR
does he play like one of the top WR's in the game, and should he be paid like one of the top 5 WR's?
he ranked 15th in the nfl this year in yards, and 13th in receptions. not in the "elite" range imo. he did lead the nfl in TD's though
lets say the nfl does classify him as a WR? is he worth that kind of money as a WR?
he would be the 6th highest paid WR in the NFL next season
though call for me
Hes worth the money and they lined him up at WR more then TE. The guy has been putting up monster numbers for them and wasn't even healthy last season, I don't know why NO is being cheap but it might back fire when he decided to leave. Someone is going to pay him big money.
I think they are just up against the cap.
