oh yes he would have. guys don't pass on 14-15 million. possibly would have done in begrudgingly but they always play on tag if needed.

Tag is going to be around $14 mil, not $15 mil.

And I'm not saying he wouldn't sign the tag. I said the Saints don't leave guys on the tag. It happened with Brees and with Graham. We don't want to tag them two years in a row. It costs us money doing so.

We tag them once and work out the deal the same year. We never let them play on the tag.

But what we would like to do is what we did here (and with guys like Cam and Galette) and extend then before it gets to the tag. Just depends on how hardball the agent plays it. Brees and Jimmy's agents were squeezing us.
