OFFICIAL GREEN BAY PACKERS VS DETROIT LIONS GAMEDAY THREAD 2012 EDITION

[Gunakor]

Sucks. . . . We can only franchise 1. . . Finley or Flynn. If we had the tag on Flynn, we could get somethin for him. . . . If we put it on Fin, we can't. Transition Fin? Franchise Flynn?

Tell Flynn he won't get a Super Bowl ring this year if he doesn't sign an extension beforehand. Even if he takes the victory snap. No deal, no ring.

He'll sign.

haha so every thread always has to be about letting Finley go now? Finley had a pretty damn good game and the winning TD catch btw.

[Gunakor]

Or do what black partial suggests and trade AR for like 5 first round picks. Let the Matt Flynn era begin!

[King Friday]

Tag Flynn...you'll get a whole lot more for him in return.

Finley hasn't had the kind of season where we can't sign him to a long term deal if we want to.

The rich just got a lot richer today...what QB hungry team has a nice young pass rushing 4-3 LB?

[mmmdk]

6-0 versus NFC North...TOP NOTCH!

It's not about letting him go. It's about transitioning him so you can match the highest bidder, then getting a big pick for Flynn. High pick, keep Finley. Win Win.

I thought about since halftime; DO IT GB!

I think you can sign Finley to a 2-year "prove it" contract (with a bunch of incentives) for around what the tag would cost you for a TE.

The whole issue with Flynn is the franchise number for a QB is ~$15m, and if you tag Flynn you need to make sure you have a trade partner lined up since you don't want to be left holding the bag there.

There's also the issue of "What to do about Wells."

Black Partial was kidding. Not sure Justin was.

But Finley will get the tag. Maybe transition for Flynn to see if they get picks in a bidding war. But I think they will take the normal FA draft pick compensation.

I don't think transition tag exists in new CBA

Is that the "new" number from the 2011 CBA? Brandt has said the calculation now has a more team friendly bent.

[Tarlam!]

Oh that's easy. You sign him to a contract that is fair and competitive.

[pbmax]

never mind, misread

Enjoy Bourbon Street, boys.
