So at the risk of sounding like that math teacher you hated growing up...
Please show your work.
Because reality is this, if Kirk Succeeds and we trans tag him, why would another team NOT make him an offer that the Skins either cant or wont want to match. So the trans tag really is not guarantee we keep him, and likely would be a guarantee that he leaves.
The Franchise tag would guarantee we keep him for another year, but only if its of the exclusive type yet again.
Because lets be honest, success at this point means Kirk performs at an elite level. And take off the homer glasses and the Bruce Allen underoos for a moment and THINK... if you are the Niners, are you going to make Kirk an offer you think the Skins will match and do their negotiating for them?? And if Kirk has transcended, would you even blink at giving up two first rounders for an elite QB??
The franchise tag is out of the question next year. It all comes down to the type of year KC has. Let the other teams bid on him like the 49ers if we trans tag him. I believe we would match it if KC shows well this year. You are forgetting that the QB draft class next year could have an affect on the offer.
Plus the 49ers with Hoyer should be another top 5 selection. The same goes for the Jets. So they may not make a break the bank offer to KC next year b/c they can get a rookie a lot cheaper and develop him. That could come into play in next years off season.
