Great question. Other teams seem to know when to cut bait.

Not to mention the fan base would have pitched a fit if they let him walk and they probably didn't want that kind of negativity with Burrow coming in. Hell, most of the fan base and wanted him signed to a multi-year deal after last year.
Did we really not see him before tagging him? I honestly don't know...but it seems dumb to blindly throw such a hefty tag on a guy coming off multiple injuries without seeing him first. Making moves "for the fans" is dumb too.
No excusing it, IMO.

I was against it, but I thought the drop off would be a bit more gradual. Like Chad in 2010.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
