Franchise Tag (Poll)

Logan Ryan. I want a long term deal done, but if not, use the Franchise to give more time to extend him.

This is assuming we work Henry and Tannehill long term deals. I think they'll be first on the docket.

 

Sorry it was worded in a way it was like you were against his pov but saying the same thing. My bad

 

I voted Henry but only because I assume we will lock up Tanny long term and do so quickly. I am guessing he gets a 4 year 27 per type deal and takes it. Tagging Henry get you him cheaper than he will cost on a new deal.

 

Franchising Henry will be overpaying him. Youre basically saying hes worth $12M by tagging him.

I want Henry back, but I tend to think a 2-down RB could be had for less than 10/yr

 

I know this is backwards but if he gets paid as if he was a 3 down back, use him for 3 downs starting next year.
I think most of us recognize Lewis is gone, so who is taking time. Plus, he’d be paid to carry the load of 3 downs.

 

Franchise Tammy no question. Half a season (after 6 fair to middling seasons) isn’t worthy of a long term contract at the modern QB rates (27-30 mil/yr.) Franchise him and see how he does with a larger sample size.

As for the price of QBs going up each year. The “big name” free agents this year are Winston, Mariota, Prescott and Bridgewater. I can’t see any of them raising the bar over 30 mil/yr. I actually see it plateauing there, especially after the Goff debacle.

 

I'd lay it out. Tell him he can sign a long term deal now for x. If he wants y, he gets the tag and we'll see how next year goes.

He may be a gambler. Or he may want the sure money.

It would be best not to have the team leader disgruntled on the tag if possible.

 

you Franchise Logan Ryan... you cannot risk his DPOY potential self hitting the market, or teams will move quickly to find another Gilmore, Bouye, etc.

Resign Derrick....myou have something in your hands to hold over Derrick Henry ---- the fact that he's not a scat back, and that it takes an almost offensive overhaul to cater to him... if he leaves Tennessee, not alot of teams utilize the downhill run that suits his style.

Resign Tannehill. Maybe 3 year contract? That way you're not in bed too long if things don't pan out a season from now.
