bushwacked Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Since when can you get franchise tage when you are an unrestricted free agent? Isn't that who the franchise tag is typically used on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Isn't that who the franchise tag is typically used on? It is only for UFA's. RFA's have other protection for the team built in, and a exclusive-rights FA can only be sighed by his current team unless released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackass Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) they like giving him touches and spelling LT when possible... I like getting laid, but i'm not going to go out and spend 5000 bucks a week to do so. Here are Turner's stats this year GP Att Yds Avg TDs Fum 16 71 316 4.5 1 1 Isn't the franchise player entitled to the average of the top 5 players at his position or something along those lines. They're going to pay him that kind of money to be a backup running back/insurance policy? Not to mention that they have Sproles there as well who they're going to want to get touches too. I just don't see how that makes sense. Edited February 13, 2008 by Jackass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see how that makes sense. I agree with you, but A.J. is totally unpredictable. For that reason alone I can actually see him putting the franchise tag on Turner.

Uncle Wiggy Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Wow, is your name Steve Doerschuk? Because that's basically what he's saying today. Nice potential call there. Got lottery numbers for me? Better PM those to me. You're right - I better play me some lottery #s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
