Daniel Graham to be tagged - The Orange Mane

Smith80HOF · 02-08-2007, 03:02 PM

Not of a huge concern given we have a great pass catching tight end in scheffler and a blocker in mustard (not to mention an all around solid one in alexander), but thought I would share given the large volume of chatter on this guy.

Dukes · 02-08-2007, 03:05 PM

Never really expected to get him this offseason anyways

ludo21 · 02-08-2007, 03:06 PM

didnt want him anyway.

Franchise tag on Graham tho, that is a hefty price for an average TE....

link btw?

Means New England will use some cap to resign Samuel. Good DB's are hard to come by.

Odd, I thought they would have tagged Samuel.

You think that a franchise tag doesn't count against the cap? Doesn't really matter, they have allready let too many players go and drafted poorly that the will slip back to mediocrity IMHO.

Tagging Graham is idiotic considering what VD is getting, and Gonzo.

Taco John · 02-08-2007, 03:19 PM

Wow. I hope we get a chance to bid on Asante then. I'd love to have him opposite Champ.

/won't happen, but I can dream.

They have a ****load of cap room... They'll be able to re-sign Asante w/o breaking a sweat.

watermock · 02-08-2007, 03:22 PM

I have evil designs, but am afraid of felony kidnapping and drugging.

If they had any sense, they would of kept Deion Branch.

Conklin · 02-08-2007, 04:22 PM

they got a freakin first for him...branch has YET to reach 1k yards in a season, they got a steal by trading him cuz he was wantin WAAY more than he was worth

You should really think before you type. No **** a franchise tag counts against the cap, but considering how much it would cost new england to tag samuels, to tag the TE would be considerably cheaper.

True, but there's no guarantee he'll resign. Just because the Pats have cap room does not mean they'll use it. They are notoriously cheap.

Stats don't mean much. Deion is an incredibly talented reciever. He's one of the new breed of smaller, shiftier, yet very tough recievers. Besides, when's the last 1,000 yard reciever Brady has had? Has he had one? I dont think so. He spreads the ball everywhere.

Troy Brown 2001, that's it.

An opposing QB's nightmare. Twenty INTs

Kaylore · 02-08-2007, 04:56 PM

That means Samuel's gone. From everything I've heard, he doesn't like it there and wants to leave and I have little doubt that other teams will be more than willing to meet and exceed whatever the penny-pinching Patriots end up scraping him off the table.

Rascal · 02-08-2007, 04:59 PM

****.

Hercules Rockefeller · 02-08-2007, 05:02 PM

I'm sure Dan likes the guaranteed money, but I'd also been told that Denver was his #1 choice if he hit the market.

Rascal · 02-08-2007, 05:04 PM

Trade SA and our fourth for him?

What's the source for this?

BroncoInferno · 02-08-2007, 05:17 PM

This is pretty stupid by NE. They've got Ben Watson and drafted two TEs in last years draft. They are hogging a lot of resources for that one position, which is particularly odd with Samuel also a FA at a thinner position.
