You need 2 good cbs in the nfl and at some point you have to start signing the guys you have here. Fuller is probably the best cb on the market this year and they have control right now. They would be foolish to not tag him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you? Make him stay and when he walks next year, get a compensatory pick. This is a job and Ryan Pace is his boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike84 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Pace has an obligation to tag Fuller if a deal can’t be reached. There are exceptions, however. 1. They’re locked into taking a corner with #8. This is risky and I don’t think any responsible team is locked into a position at this point. 2. There are serious doubts about his ability, a belief that last season was an anomaly, his lack of takeaways is a deal-breaker, or if he’s not meshing with his teammates and the team philosophy well. Letting him walk for those reasons probably aren’t ones we’d ever find out about. 3. It’s a good-faith move. This is what I believe happened with Alshon last year. This is also the way Ozzie Newsome has said he handles the situations. “Test the market, come back to us with the best offer, we’ll counter, and if it doesn’t work out, best wishes. Again, if those three points are all untrue, he has to get the tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have tagged Jeffery too. Again Lance Briggs famously said he would never play another down for the Bears. And then he did. Players use those types of statements all the time as negotiating ploys. If you have the rights to a good player you keep them or you get something for them.

GOGRIESE Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 He needs to be tagged if a long term deal cant be reached. He's exactly the type of player you keep. After Ryan Pace's last go of the CB market we got lucky and Fuller drastically improved. Lets not do that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their comments are one of the few tools they have at their disposal before they are true free agents, Briggs used his tool and got paid (regardless if that helped or not IDK of course). Not tagging Jeffery was a terrible choice, I don't expect Pace to make that again with Fuller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike84 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Now here's the part where 90% of the guys we've been talking about for 39 pages re-sign or get tagged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 If Robinson gets tagged then we know that Hurns and Lee hit the market. Neither really excite me, but they are significant upgrades and young enough to grow a little with better QB play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike84 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hahahaha, Dolphins expected to tag Landry. As I said, lots of talk for guys who never hit the market. Free agency sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't care man, if Landry left Miami they'd be looking for a WR to replace him, same concept. FA is what it is... you pay for failed draft picks. Wilson and Lee are my top targets, I'd keep an eye on Jordan Matthews as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t matter. Anyway it shakes out, free agency is always like paying nice steakhouse prices for a steak from Chili’s but swearing up and down that it’s that high-end cut. There are few (if any) exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if Landry says he won’t play there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
