Jamison Crowder WR pick #4

[gkekoa]

He gonna get paid too. Another reason we can't, or shouldn't, overspend on PG and DJ.

So if they come to a deal with KC without use of the Tag for 2017, do they use the transitional tag on one of these 2 guys to at least get compensation if they leave? It's worth consideration.

For whatever reason you never hear about the transition tag being used. There must be a reason. Would that not require the team to offer top 10 contracts? Would anyone argue either is a top 10 WR right now?

I dont know the specifics of the transition tag, but it isn't used much. I'm curious why. No, I don't think either is a top 10 WR at this point. But there is something to be said for continuity and it would only be a 1 year deal until we can figure out if Doctson or another can replicate the production.

 

[Darrell Green Fan]

I was very cool with the Doctson pick for just this reason, it wasn't a luxury pick it was a good investment for the future. Of course none of us could have predicted what took place. He will be essentially an unproven rookie with an injury history at the point in time they need to make decisions on the WRs.

A transition tag is a tool used by National Football League teams to retain unrestricted free agents. It guarantees the original club the right of first refusal to match any offer the player may make with another team. The transition tag can be used once a year by each club unless they elect to use a franchise tag instead. Transition tags can be rescinded; however, teams that rescind a transition tag cannot use it again until the next season.

If a player signs a contract after receiving the transition tag, his original team can not use the tag again on any player until the contract has expired. The exception is if the player first signs a transition offer sheet, which is a one-year contract equal to the average salary of the top ten players in the league at the player's position, or a twenty percent salary increase, whichever is greater. This contract was not historically guaranteed; however, it became guaranteed starting in 2007 per the collective bargaining agreement agreed to by the NFL owners and the NFLPA on March 8, 2006. If the player signs the offer sheet prior to a long-term contract, the player's team can then use the tag the next year.

If another club offers a contract to a transitioned player, his original club has seven days to decide whether to match that offer or not. If the original club agrees to match, the player is forced to sign with the original club at the terms agreed to in the offer by the other club. If the original club declines to match, the player signs with the other team, and the original team is offered no compensation, as they would be if the player had received the franchise tag.

hence why it isnt used much but in KC's case would it make sense ? i will give you my answer if i see people respond to it or you do . its just a question to get a sense about it

not in KC case ... because someone would be willing to offer him stupid money (Browns, Jets, Kansas City)

would have been a good idea for the panthers to put on Norman ... just to test the market.

 

[skinsdad62]

i dont see KC offering stupid money

 

[Sportster 72]

If he finishes this season where he is at now he will have been a top 5 or 6 QB the last two years. Not only will someone offer him stupid money you would have to wonder about our front office if they do all they can to sign him long term.

i think we could be having confusion with our acronyms with kirk cousins & kanssas city
