    Damn, I wanted Campbell. But I'm not surprised he was tagged.

        Why waste a tag on a kicker?

            Because it is cheap. The K tag is something like $2.6M. If you have a good K and can't reach a long-term agreement, that isn't bad money to rent him for a year.

            There will probably be another K tagged as well soon. If Matt Prater isn't signed before Monday, there is no way Denver is going to let him get to FA.

            Connor Barth of TB is a candidate to be tagged as well.

              He had a great year last year. 33-for-38 on FG, despite playing outdoors in Ohio. He also has one of the NFL's strongest legs, as shown by his 36 touchbacks on kickoffs.

              Nugent has always been very talented, which is why he was drafted so high (2nd round). He was a little erratic early in his career, and had an ACL injury that derailed him a little. However, he has put it all together and is one of the NFL's best kickers.

                Secures you don't lose the Kicker and the franchise tag for a Kicker is pretty low against the cap.

                  You remember Dave Rayner and Brandon Coutu last year, right?

                      Branch was tagged? Man, Oakland had a ton of cap space they needed to clear even before that. Now they've really got to do some work before the 13th. Rumors that Kamerion Wimbley would be let go - I wouldn't mind seeing him in Buffalo.

                        i doubt it. WNY will be fine without him.

                          I've never seen such a selfish player get so much love. He has shown that he doesn't care about the team by his actions on multiple occasions. He can beat it on down the road as far as I'm concerned.

                            Dawson has now been tagged in back to back years in Cleveland.

                            Kinda disconcerning they can't work out a 4-5 year deal with him.

                              Brees is now tagged also. Means Colston will now not be tagged
