Players can have the tag placed on them numerous times. But each time it costs the team more and more exponentially. It also pisses the player off in most cases. Because if they get a serious injury they're screwed. They potentially lose all the $ of a guaranteed long term deal.
I forget the years but Walter Jones was tagged three times.
I've seen it written both ways. Both quoted the CBA. One said you could but it would be insanity as it would be another 44% increase. The other said you couldn't
This sums up the ET situation. He can say whatever he wants, and hater fans can say what they want, but the reality of it all is that the acceptable trade value would have presented itself prior to last month's draft if it was going to. Having ET on the team in 2018 plus a 3rd round comp pick in 2020 is more valuable than a 2019 3rd round pick and no ET in '18.
Well, if you're truly a Seahawks fan then you absolutely should care about what instrument the team uses to have ET on the 2018 roster. I don't want them giving him some ludicrous extension that is ultimately going to hurt the team when he is no longer here or on the team but not playing at a high level. This is especially true if you think 2018 is a transition year.
It's going to be an interesting situation. To me, the most likely outcome is letting him walk in a year. Lots of factors involved....how ET plays, what the team thinks of Tedric Thompson, how much money ET wants, the state of the rest of the team/defense, etc. I would be ok with him being extended a couple years, but it can't be a deal that puts the team in a bind down the road.
We drafted 3 potential starting DBs last year by the 3rd round -- Shaq Griffin, Tedric Thompson, and Delano Hill. I think the team started planning for the transition from the LOB before it started to happen.
Is English a second language for you?
Blame Canada obviously they have low standards when employing writers.
