Would a trade scenario now benifit the Bills more than using the Franchise Tag at seasons end? Rumors are floating around that the Skins are interested in his services and I think they hold the #9 pick.
Maybe someone with the knowledge can detail the effects on the Cap that using the franchise tag would hold as opposed to trying to deal him now and trying to get a young CB like Rolle from the draft.
Keeping Nate at seasons end should be a priority but if he's gone, then lets make the best of the situation whether that is now or at season's end.
If he is Franchised then another team would have to give up 2 first round picks to get him or whatever the Bills Brass see as fair compensation if I'm not mistaken, If the Bills retain his services then we're required to pay him the average salary of the top 5 CBs in the League or something like that.
What effect will the 5 yard contact rule have on the CB market next year and would there be any suiters for a top 3 CB next year with picks and players to offer for "Nate Compensation"?
I realize it's all foresight but would it be better for the Bills to shop in the draft now or franchise later?
