Kingram Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Why the transition tag? I feel like that makes no sense 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 3 minutes ago, Kingram said: Why the transition tag? I feel like that makes no sense Lets the market dictate his contract. Means he’s asking for a bigger amount than NE thinks he’s worth/could potentially get in FA. So they want to keep him, and are going to let him test his waters without giving up his rights exclusively, Different from the non-exclusive tag because that “scares” teams away from putting an offer on the table. This, to me, is less of a hard-ball tactic, but one that still shows the team really wants to retain him on a modest deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaddHatter Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 IIRC this allows them to match any offer he gets on the open market, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically means they’ve negotiated and haven’t come to an agreement, so NE will let another team do the negotiations and match it or let him walk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a stupid, pointless out to give their best player--not saying much, but he is. Now that means the Patriots have to beat every other bid on the market for their own guy. They could have just franchised him and continued to negotiate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily. EDIT: Last season, Tavai would be over Dugger too. Dugger’s good, don’t get me wrong, just not the team’s best defensive player.

Don't worry your pretty regular-sized head about that. But also, you know the team best: is Dugger not that good or do you mean there's a star I'm missing?

They don’t have to beat, they just need to match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoleINGout Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Just now, Soko said: Best players on the team last season (excluding healthy Judon and Gonzalez) were Peppers and Barmore. Easily. Not to mention Rhondre Stevenson, Zeke Elliott, Michael Onwenu, David Andrews, Hunter Henry, Demario Douglas, Anfernee Jennings, their linebackers, and several other defensive backs all played at the same level as Dugger.
