Now Who Would You Extend?

If we tag Kampy and noone bites, isn't it along the lines of 9 milllion?

It depends on whether or not they tag him as a linebacker or not. If he fights that (more lucrative to be tagged as a DE), then it could be higher.

Point is that no one is likely to take the risk of recovery along with a big contract. Tagging him is most likely out of the question as there is too much risk involved.

I'm pretty sure there's a pass rushing OLB/DE tag out there.

But to Brohm's point, the tag can be rescinded by the team at any time if Kampman hasn't signed yet.

I think if you're Kampman, you sign that tag on day 1 under the circumstances. The Packers can still trade him, (if they have any offers), but the tag amount is guaranteed. That's the risk, and it's a big one.

Also, the tag for OLB's is a lot less than DE's. That was my point. 9mil is probably the lowest amount. DE's are probably around 14mil.

I think there's a special category that includes pass rushing DEs which would decrease the non-pass rushing DE tag amount.

Whoever voted for Colledge should be castrated.

Checking results....

Carry on.

OK, Who chose Colledge just to screw with this post???? lol

I hope they tag Kampy and get something for him. Its a shame he got hurt for both him AND us. If he hadn't got injured he'd be a hell of lot more attractive to prospective teams than he is now.

that option is gone, since the knee injury. we'll either resign him, or likely get nothing...

Guys off ACL repairs have signed unrestricted free agent deals before, the Eagles did one with the guy who was supposed to be their RT this year. It would be unusual, but not impossible to tag and trade.

I wasn't talking "possible", I was talking "likely". It is possible, but isn't likely b/c of the risk.

It's highly doubtful Kampy gets tagged. You don't tag injured players (esp. in Kampy's situation...30 years old, and didn't deserve the tag money this year at OLB anyway).

More likely is a Taucher type deal for Kampman. 1 year deal to get back on the field and demonstrate previous ability after recovery, and hopefully secure a long-term money deal after 2010. Albeit, Kampy has more to bring than an old Tauscher, so a 1 year deal to return to GB for $3 million (with several million in incentives) wouldn't shock me at all.
