BengalszoneBilly Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 I just don't get the thought process here.Report: T.J. won't get taggedBy Jeff Tindall • jtindall@enquirer.com • December 26, 2008Schefter says Cincinnati will instead try to sign Houshmandzadeh to an extension before his contract expires in late February.Offensive tackle Stacy Andrews was last season's franchise tag recipient, netting him a $7.455 million salary.But Andrews injured his knee in the Browns game Sunday, so the Bengals probably won't re-tag him this year because the injury will diminish his attractiveness on the market, Schefter said."Don't look for Andrews' tag to go on Houshmandzadeh," Schefter said on his NFL.com blog, citing "a league source."Houshmandzadeh, 31 years old, has rebuffed previous attempts by the Bengals to sign him to a long-term deal.Schefter's blog entry: http://blogs.nfl.com/2008/12/24/bengals-fa...houshmandzadeh/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJJackson Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 IMHO, the only other player who might be in the running for the franchise tag is OpieOf course, you realize that Girlcheck is eligible to be tagged :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combatbengal Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 The way this organization does business, they tag Graham! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlainThePain Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Cedric Benson maybe? The way we go through runningbacks, I would much rather see him franchised than signed to a contract that was over three years. I could see them wanting to see what Benson could do in a full season before they make any long term commitment, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walzav29 Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Has Mike Brown EVER signed a good player in the last year of his deal? I know they franchise, but I doubt he'll be able to sign TJ. WHo would want to stay for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB is alot cheaper then WR.Not really. WR was $7.8m this season, RB $6.5 million. We'll see how they shake out in '09.But could I see a bonehead move like: let TJ go and franchise Benson? Yeah, sadly, I could. I mean, what do we need experienced wideouts for in a pass-oriented offense, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
