    So if they get a long-term deal worked out, does the franchise tag just get lifted immediately?

    Yes, the franchise tag is basically just a 1 year contract.

    TitanJeff's predictions seem pretty good, but I don't know if Albert is saying the right stuff so far. Didn't he say that if the Titans franchise him and don't make immediate and serious efforts to get him locked up long term that he would refuse to sign with them after next season?

    It doesn't worry me that much, but it's not the greatest thing to have him say.

    No, he just said that if there wasn't any talk this year, then there would be no talk at all next year. He's okay with being franchised and then working out a long term deal.

    Actually, besides a couple of comments from Albert saying he won't give the Titans a chance to sign him if they don't try to work something out during the franchise season, it's been calmer than I expected.

    That may change at some point as Haynesworth keeps talking like he thinks he can be franchised only a season when I believe it can be ongoing.

    Albert is going to the Hall of Fame.
     
  10. Do current players get in free or do they need to buy a ticket like the rest of us?
