Even is DJax gets the Franchise tag, I’m pretty sure he’s as good as gone.

Notice how all the DJax jerseys are 50% off in the Philly area?

Ravens will tag Rice because he plays a position prone to injury, Rice should hold out for a long term deal. I thought Forte should have held out absent a better deal for him to, when he took that gruesome looking injury I felt bad the guy got low balled by his team. Luckily Forte was back quick though, but teams that tag running backs that account for so much of their offense annoy me even though I understand it’s financially smart to do it.

“The thinking is that the Ravens won’t want to deal with the matter over the weekend, and that they don’t want to wait until the final day, in order to avoid any type of a last-minute screw-up.”

Similar to waiting until the last second to submit your draft pick and screwing that up…

Many players will complain a good bit about being slapped with the franchise tag. From how the media portrays it, however, Ray Rice is understanding with the Raven’s financial situation and won’t hold out for leverage. What a great player, wish he was on my team

I hope the Eagles place the franchise tag on DeSean Jackson if they can’t resign him before then.
