He got the tag this year.

Yeah I know, which is why it'd be hella expensive for the Raiders to tag him again.

Regardless, when has Al Davis ever cared about spending money to win? That's why I think Nandi will be tagged again, and unlikely he'll be a UFA.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I think that's only if there is a special clause added, which happens in some cases (like Haynesworth).

Practically speaking though, Franchising a player makes very highly paid. Franchising him the second straight year means that he is going to be given a 120% increase in his salary.

So if Nandi made 8 million last year, being Franchised again means he'd be making 17.6 million the next year. That is realistically way too big of a cap hit, but I don't think Al would be too bothered about that when he's got a player like Nandi being Franchised.

So for practical purposes, it's way too much of a hit to apply the Franchise tag two years in a row, but there is no set rule against it.

Franchise doesn't raise the salary that much. It is the greater of the average of the top 5 or 120%. The salary has to be 120% of the prior year, not the previous salary plus 120%. So the new salary would be 9.6 not 17.6.

Ah gotch'ya. Thanks for clearing that up. Boy I was way off the mark.

That add's another dent in my "Nandi Asomugha a Packer" dream. 😞

I was about to say.... 17.6 million would have made him the highest paid player by far. 9.6 mill aint bad either :whipitgood:

Any FA moves should be along either the offensive or defensive lines. If I was to rank the strongest areas of the Packers, it would go as follows.
1. WR
2. Seconday
3. QB
4. RB
5. LB
6. Oline/Dline

As the old saying goes. Games are won or lost in the trenches. Well we have been losing them.

On the defensive side. Our LBers are not thumpers. They are suppose to cover sideline to sideline. Any secondary no matter how good is going to get beat if the opposing QB has time. We need to get that pass rush back and chew up the run blocks to free the LBers.

Offensively, the pass blocking and run blocking has been to inconsistent.

My hope is that there is 1 or 2 good FA brought in, one on each line and I wouldn't be upset if all draft picks were lineman.

Asomugha signed his one year, $9.765 million tender.



I would like to see him somewhere else. Mostly in GB lol.

Should be a very interesting draft. I hope Ted pulls the trigger and goes after a FA hard this offseason.
