You want to give the franchise tag to a guy who will be 35 years old next year?

Should I put it in larger print so you can read it Grandpa?

Only one I'd bring back is Whit....as the new Oline coach.

First off, I am not nearly a "grandpa".  Second, no reason to be an ass.

Forgive me for not understanding the logic of using the franchise tag on a guy nearing the end of his career and who currently makes $9 million (about $4 million less than the tag number).  After I have had more time to think about it... nope, still does not make any sense at all.

1.  Not sure if Whit intends to stay or has another year left.  I would say Kirkpatrick, Zeitler, and Burkhead, maybe Thompson.
2.  I say he signs everyone except Nugent, Winston, Brown, Boykin?, and LaFell.

I would keep 
Peko, LaFell, Nugent, Winston, Peerman, Hunt, Gilberry, Chykie Brown, Dansby

Start off with a nice solid base of washed up/sub-par talent. What could go wrong?

Seriously though. Whit, Zeitler, and Kirk, need to be kept at our price. Burkhead and Thompson should get a minimum offer.
