Beacuse it pisses off players when they are forced to take a one year salary that is guaranteed to be the average of the top 5 players at their position?

 

:wacko:

 

i meant "why not" andrews ... no real better choice to tag. i'm sure he'll be fine if he's "forced" to go forward on over 7 mill for the season.

Yeah, that guy is the best choice IMO. With the o-line problems last year we need a versatile guy like him to help out. And maybe he's the replacement for Big Willie...

Stacy Andrews heard the talk. But in the end, he never thought the Bengals would make him their franchise free agent.

 

"It's amazing. A blessing when you think about where I came from," said Andrews, indicating Wednesday night that he'll sign the $7.5 million tender and get to work when offseason workouts open next month.

 

Which means two defensive starters are likely headed to free agency in defensive end Justin Smith and free safety Madieu Williams when the market opens Feb. 29. The bidding figures to start at $20 million up front for Smith and $10 million for Williams, quite possibly too rich for a franchise trying to shake its defensive past.

 

Andrews, who had been hopeful that he'd get the chance to play next to his brother in Philadelphia (Eagles Pro Bowl guard Shawn Andrews), is now virtually off that market with two first-round picks as compensation. Stacy Andrews says he's not bitter.

 

"That was kind of exciting. That would have been great. I don't think it's ever been done before, two brothers playing next to each other on the same line," he said. "But I'm ready to do what they want me to do. I want to keep learning. Keep on getting better."
