When's the last time a franchise player was actually traded for the two #1s? I'd like to say it's never happens but I'm sure it's happened a least once.


It has happened, but been a while. Even though a player is tagged with the non-exclusive tag he is still a free agent, he is not traded. It just means the said team has the right to match the other teams offer. If said team chooses not to match then they compensated for their lose.

Look the guy is young and considered by most to be the best guard in the NFL. He is very valuable to many teams out there. A 4 yr. starter that could have a career for another 10 yrs.

If you tag him what do you have to loose, but alot you could gain if he leaves verse just letting him walk. At worse you pay him the tag money or sign him long term.

At worse he goes the Vincent Jackson route and sits out like 10 games refusing to play for the tag.
