If we know anything about Phil Emery it's that he doesn't feel he owes any players anything.

Why would you tag Gould? He could play another 7 years and it would be much cheaper to extend him.

Yeah, but in a 3-4 a zone guy like Jennings would get like 35% of the snaps, and wouldn't be a suitable backup to either CB position, so how much do you pay for that?

Vash, with your constant talk about the 34, you never eplain why the bears would switch. Why?

Same goes for Culter. Well, not 7 years. But if he plays well enough to this year to tag, then it would be cheaper and smarter to just extend him. And I just dont see Cutler holding out for a Flacco contract.

Yeah but this year is all an Emery smokescreen! She is also playing MLB right now but silently so we don't know

The reason I think he will get the tag won't necessarily be because he is willing to take less money... but because it might also allow the GM to setup the cap a certain way...
I also do not believe that Jay is going to go for cheap and if his asking price is reasonably close to the franchise tag then they might just make him prove he is worth what he thinks he is worth... which would allow the GM to set up a contract for the future that better suits the current salary cap...
I just don't think when it comes down to it in the end he is just going to take significantly less money... I don't see that happening...

So you're saying even if Jay proves himself this season he should have to prove himself again under the franchise tag? That is dumb for two reasons. One you're paying him entirely too much for a single year. Two you're risking pissing him off right out of town.

Don't argue with Chris. He's always right. Just ask him.

Honestly, if tagging Cutler "pisses him off out of town", then fuck him. This is a business and not an "am I hurting your feelings" facility.

I am not saying that is what I would do...
I am saying it is what I think might happen if he asks for a number anywhere near the franchise tag price...
If it were up to me I would sign him long term and open up the cap space and go after a few players... But from a GM point of view they might see fit to make Jay prove it 2 years in a row in order to sign him to a lower deal and gain the cap space that way...
given that you get to roll over cap space not used in the previous year it would all come down to math and what you think you could save in the future...

Yea, because we can replace him so easily and Brandon Marshall won't be mad or anything like that.

P
You own a store, right?! How many "management" decisions do you make/change because of your employees feelings?
Again, if a 20 million $$$ payday pisses him off to that point, then fuck him.

What makes anyone believe that Jay would still want to give the Bears a hometown discount if they disrespect him by forcing him to prove himself a 2nd year in a row. If I were him I would say okay you want to play hardball even if I am trying to give you a discount. Now you pay full price and if you won't someone else sure as shit will. From hometown discount to kiss my ass deal.
