You dont just give away a 2nd round pick because of this public perception bs you are talking about. You can still trade him to where he wants to go. Would be stupid to not get a 2nd round pick back in exchange.

We could give him the transition tag and the trade would be a first, not a second.

Public perception is why the Browns are the Browns and the Redskins are the Redskins. They are forced to pay more because no one wants to play for their shite franchises. I think we make a pitch in free agency that I'm sure he will heavily consider, but holding his future ransom is not smart.

We would have to do some serious cap restructuring to be able to franchise tag Teddy and keep Drew.

If anything, Drew would have to take less money to allow us to pay Teddy 10+ to stick around at least another year. It is hard to keep two legit QBs on a roster and have to pay them somewhere starter money ballpark.

Did you know that other players will see this. It's public. Treat FA's like sh!t and that is the kind your team would get.
