[QUOTE="net, post: 11713, member: 200"] This is not dissimilar to what the Milwaukee Bucks are facing with Michael Redd and why it is absolutely imperative some form of 'tag' stay in place. Without the Larry Bird rights thing, Milwaukee could never compete financially with the LA's and New Yorks. Milwaukee can pay more to Redd than Cleveland, who desperately wants him. By giving the small market team the ability to at least compete for TALENT THEY DEVELOPED, via the Bird rights(tags) teams like Milwaukee have a very good shot of retaining their help. These joker football players all act like they are going broke tomorrow. Bubba Franks is going to make at LEAST 2 million bucks for this season. Not bad, considering he's never lived up to even Mark Chumura's ability. Players like Green and Alexander had also better wake up and smell the coffee. There's an overabundance of good, young running backs coming out of college now. These same guys would have stuck a few years ago, now there's guys on the street capable of playing right now. Running back isn't QB, or even corner. Practice a few handoffs, figure out where the hole is and go. Once in awhile you have to block someone, big deal. Oh, yea, catch the ball and run. Most college backs can do it at the pro level. The tags could be merged into one tag. I would put a limit of two years on it. After that, it has to be used on another player and allow him to go to free agency. But Bubba would have been gone-oh without the tag, and the Packers would have been s.o.l. in trying to keep Bubba.
