The dinstinction between being a WR and a TE means alot of money to JG if he gets franchised.

That's a fact.

It's also a fact that the team doesn't have the money to pay him the franchise tag for a WR. If JG doesn't agree to a reasonable long term deal before the drop dead date, look for a tag and trade. Don't like it, but that's the reality.

The NFL cap hasn't gone up since 2009 (in fact it went down) and every team is struggling to keep their top players...no matter what the position. The greed shown by the owners is certainly affecting the play on the field. If you don't have a $15-$20 million QB, or $15 million WR, or a $16 million CB, you can load up elsewhere and win it all (see the Seahawks for proof thereof).

To think you can have a $20 million QB and $14 million TE/WR and be competitive in just not going to happen...especially the way the Saints draft.
