Pete Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Correct me if I've got this bass ackwards. We used the franchise tag on Champ. Even though we traded him, we lose that designation for the season.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not actually sure, but was thinking of hittin Samuels with it. Problem is, I don't think we could aford to do it if it was an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The X-Factor Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I don't think you can franchise a player that is already under contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnacpa Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I thought there was some sort of deadline that if we traded him prior to a certain date in March then we would retain the tag. It wouldn't matter anyhow, though, because we don't have any other free agents that are worth tendering for that kind of money. I think our most talented free agent (that we planned on keeping) was D-MAC and he certainly isn't worth the average of the top 5 receivers in the game.

Chrisbob74 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 We can't use the tag agin this season to the best of my knowledge but if we had kept Champ much longer and traded him after March, we would have lost the right to use the franchise tag for the length of his new deal, regardless of where he signed.
