Rufus T Firefly Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 The franchise tender is guaranteed if it is signed by the player. The transition tender is not.A player with 4 or more years of experience making the team and being on the regular season roster for a game is guaranteed his base salary for the year. If the Redskins were to use a transition tag on JC in 2011 and cut him before week 1, they would not owe him anything. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=clayton_john&id=2361392 5. There is significant change in the transition tag. First, if a player signs the transition tag, his one-year contract is guaranteed. In the previous agreement, that wasn't the case -- unlike with the franchise designation, transition tenders weren't guaranteed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSkins Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Didn't know that change was made. Good info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangSteve Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Why would we want to franchise a qb who averages one 300 yard game a season? I'm curious to see how he plays against Dallas and NY again, with all our receivers stepping up, there's no reason he shouldn't have another 300 yard game before the seasons over.

e16bball Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 No salary cap would mean he is a restricted free agent, making it unnecessary to give him that much money. Why didn't this thread end here? In the scenario posed in the OP, Campbell would be a RFA. We could tender him at the highest level and assuredly keep him for another season at a cost of about $3M.

MrJL Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Here is some info on the CBA and free agents for this upcoming offseason. You'll note that we can raid the playoff teams, which we should do.http://www.milehighreport.com/2008/5/20/523809/nfl-owners-opt-out-of-cba it's interesting, but I'm not sure it's correct about one thing. It makes it sound like both 2010 and 2011 would be uncapped years. As I understood it in the unlikely event that the CBA was opted out of, 2010 was uncapped and 2011 was played with neither a new CBA or work stoppage that 2011 would have the cap back and it would function like any other year.

MrJL Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Regardless of the tender, he would have to be offered 110% of his 2009 salary by June 15 otherwise he would be a free agent. That is 3.2 million they would have to offer so they would do it from day 1 to have more leverage over him. so what? Snyder's probably writing checks to players who haven't been Redskins for years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
