ThunderbirdJet Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Under the old CBA, this would definitely be true, but the new CBA changed some of the tag rules.... http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=clayton_john&id=2361392 Steve HutchinsonOffensive Guard Seattle Seahawks Profile6. Teams will be given an entire offseason to sign a franchise or transition player without losing the ability to tag future players. The current rules give a team that tags a player until March 17 to reach a long-term deal without losing the ability to give a franchise or transition designation for the length of that long-term deal. Under the new rules, the Seahawks, for example, have the ability to negotiate a long-term deal with transition guard Steve Hutchinson until July 15. If he signs a long-term deal before then, the Seahawks can get the tag for the next year. After July 15, the team can keep the franchise or transition tag only if the player signs a one-year deal. The old CBA also would penalise the team with the franchise cap hit (if he were signed to a contract more that 14 days after the opening of FA) until July 15th as well. In JA's case, that would have meant having to carry his 8.3 mil atg price on our cap until July 15. A lot of the beat reporters don't seem to be aware of this.... PFT called out Bob Glauber of Newsday for not knowing about 8 or 9 days ago, but their archives are down at the moment, so I can't link to it. Much of the new CBA info hasn't gotten to the reporters, and they are basing this stuff on the old agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dierking Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Friday is the last day that franchised players can negotiate with other teams. just an fyi . . . You are confusing rules-That was a rule to negotiate with their CURRENT team, not a new team, as I understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 The deadline is basically when the Falcons are on the clock on draft day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderbirdJet Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 You are confusing rules-That was a rule to negotiate with their CURRENT team, not a new team, as I understand it. There IS a deadline on Friday.... but that ONLY pertains to the Falcons signing a deal with Abraham, and if the Jets didn't match, would then send two first round picks to the Jets as per the CBA. That was never the case.... this was always going to be a sign and trade deal. Now, what has changed is that the original team, the one with the players rights, no longer face that same deadline. This is what the SI excerpt is all about. Team can sign contracts with tagged players through the whole off season, which was NOT the case last year, under the old CBA. So, in a sign and trade deal, there isn't a deadline anymore.... something the beat writers are having a hard time figuring out. Even PFT called out Bob Glauber of Newsday for the same mistake of not knowing the new CBA when he wrote an article about 9 days ago. No, JA can't DIRECTLY negotiate with a new team on his contract, but the Jets CAN. That is really the only thing that changes in JA's situation come Friday.

Do the new CBA rules go into effect this year, or do the 2006 rules still apply & the new rules go into effect in 2007? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the NFL teams have been bombarding the NFL offices looking for clarifications..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderbirdJet Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Here is a blurb from PFT on just how clueless out beat reporters are on this subject.... http://www.profootballtalk.com/3-11-06.htm Ken Berger of Newsday writes that franchised DE John Abraham will lose his right to negotiate with other teams in two weeks. (Ken, maybe you should quit asking Bob Glauber questions about the CBA.) LOL! All of em... gary Meyers, the fat C guy, the Jet hater C guy, they all have no freakin clue what they are talking about onthis subject. I hope they all get embarrased, as they should.
