NFL: 2014 Franchise Tag Candidates

Matt Ryan, franchise tag?

by Chad Jones


With the drama of Franchise Tags nearing the July 15th Deadline, we take a look ahead to next offseasons potential Franchise Tagged Players.

NFL Agents loathe the Franchise Tag, a Tender teams reserve the right to utilize on their own Free Agents. The tender can be applied 2 times on one player, and has been utilized in consecutive years recently (Redskins Fred Davis & Cowboys Anthony Spencer). While it pays among the upper echelon at their position, it makes garnering a longterm commitment outside the realm of possibility with another club. It creates drama, as the two sides must broker an extension prior to a set July 15th Deadline. Holdouts have occurred, because the NFL is a Business. It hurts the longterm finances of players & is thus vehemently detested. Let's take a look at 2014 Franchise Tag Possibilities. 

Fantasy Football: Jay Cutler as Your Backup

Jay Cutler on your Fantasy Football roster?

by Arif Hasan

The most consistent and potent position in any fantasy roster is the quarterback. While the quarterback might not be the most important position you’ll end up drafting, screwing up your starting quarterback situation will come back to haunt you.

Many fantasy owners decide to wait until the fifth or sixth round until they consider a quarterback. That has merit—fifth overall scoring quarterback Peyton Manning was selected in the fifth round on average, and starting quality quarterbacks Tony Romo and Ben Roethlisberger were drafted later.

Did Jay Cutler give up? QB takes heat after lost to Packers in NFC Championship

The big story after the AFC/NFC Championship games is not the upcoming Super Bowl. Its the NFC losing QB Jay Cutler and his demeanor. Cutler went into the locker room early before the end of the first half. He did return for only one series in the second half, but was pulled from finishing the game with a knee injury. Cutler stayed on the sidelines, standing on his injured knee, with a somewhat "don't care" attitude.
This demeanor left the public to speculate how hurt was he. Current and former players, sitting at home watching the championship games, took to twitter to giver their opinions of Cutler. Most were to the effect of blasting the QB for not playing when he could stand. Cutler was injured, period. We question QBs when they stay in the game hurt and cost a team the game playing hurt, then blast a QB and coaching staff to trying to win the game with a better option.
