“Mr. Snyder, he’s not even on the team anymore!”
“If I says ‘Franchise him’ then franchise him! And you’re FIRED!”

Look out, Matt Millen – your illustrious career as Lions’ GM is being rivaled by the biggest moron in the NFL… well, Goodell will always be #1.

So why would`nt the Skins want to franchise a player that consistanly plays hard every year???.Believe it or not,As bad as the Skins were they managed to have a top ten passing offense.Just because a team is sorry that doesnt mean that every player on the roster is sorry.Next time do some research before you make a stupid comment!

No. His last contract included a clause that prevented Oakland from tagging him. Nnamdi Asomugha is free and clear.

That sounds like collusion to me.

With that said, the way they franchise tag works (average of top 5 salaries for players at his position or a 30% upgrade to his last contract with the team), Al Davis should basically sign over the franchise literally to Nnamdi with the amount of money he’s going to be getting paid (close to 20 mil for the season) if I got the facts of his contract correctly.

The league is full of theives that steal the public’s money yearly. PSL’s / Season Ticket / NFL Ticket, you name it & the whole leagues in bed together.

I predict a deal gets done quick with the owners making more of a share than previously with more money to be divided up. They’ll call it a win for both sides, which only the fans lose out on ($).

If Mankins wants to play it out like last season that’s his right too – but with a lockout looming it seems to me that Mankins would be a fool not to accept a fair offer that pays him now

Either that or its still his choice if he’d rather wait til free agency in 2012 (when the Pats might STILL be able to tag him) at the age of 30.

If he doesn’t get a contract before February 10th, he’s getting franchised. Doesn’t mean that he won’t negotiate a huge, long-term contract eventually. Franchising a player who is set to be a free agent that you absolutely won’t allow to leave is simply a sensible decision as it simply denies a player and his agent the leverage of being able to say “well, I wonder what this other team would say I’m worth.”

Teams franchise players as a prelude to a long-term contract negotiation all the time.

The only reason you wouldn’t franchise Manning is if there was somebody else that you needed to use that tag on more urgently.
