Anyonw who is franchised BETTER sign the deal. The way the market is, no one now is going to get close to that number. A lot of the early deals were 2 and 3MM lower than the franchise number including the top OT’s.

Smart move Brandon

"dabearstjm says: Mar 18, 2013 2:11 PM The only reason he is signing it is so they don’t yank the tag, trade him and draft Joeckel or Fisher" ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' Nope, if they yank the tag they can't trade him as he'd then be a free agent.

Once Jake Long got $8.5m per year, $9.8m sounds pretty good, I guess!

Eagles could be a buyer. I’m sure Andy Reid would be interested in Trent Cole and maybe a draft pick.

The Chiefs traded a second for a marginaly better QB in Smith. If they then draft a rookie LT #1 overall?

The team isn’t better. That’s a crime.

I hope they can get a 2nd and 3rd for him. My guess is either Tackle can replace Albert no problem. And to pick up a pick or 2, on top of the salary cap savings, is gravy. They do need to get a DE though, Seymour would be a decent short term fix.

Makes sense, once he saw how little Jake Long was getting he must of signed that real quick…

That’s a smart move. He may be traded soon, but for now he’s lined up to make $9+ million, unless they do trade him.

They can’t trade him unless he signs the tender…right?
