Cool. So, how does this effect us?

LB being higher than CB sticks out to me. I always considered CB the more valuable position.

The guys I see as possibilities for the tag would be Campbell/Rogers/McIntosh if the CBA magically gets extended. Outside of that I don't know of any impending FA's that could be worth one of those prices even in an uncapped year.

CBs are more valuable if they are good. But the number of top corners from the whole CB pool number is less than top LBs from the overall pool of LBs, IMO.

I don't care how much it costs them in an uncapped year.

I don't particularly care how Snyder spends his money either but it sets bad precedent. You tag a guy to be for example a nickle CB (since we don't have any tagable starters) for $X. If you then attempt to sign a guy to be a starting corner, he's going to want $X+ Y because he's "better." If X is already a high number it's effecting other longer term contracts. If the cap comes back this could get us in trouble.
