Lee will get tagged for at least 1 year after his rookie contract is up.

[Bill Brasky]

Wow, I've never heard somebody use so many words, and offer absolutely nothing of context.

[PECKERWOOD]

Screw em, franchise his ass if we can't get a long term deal done.

[shelby]

He said absolutely nothing!

[gr8slayer]

**** him, he isn't a number one WR.

Exactly. Or he'll be tagged and then traded.

[YardRat]

Big year for Evan's and the team. I hope they both do well enough that it becomes a moot point whether or not to extend him.

[Don't Panic]

He basically said, "we like him and we'll talk to him, but there's no guarantee we'll get anything done." Good enough for now... they can worry up re-uping young guys after the draft.

[Oaf]

Just me, but I think we should sign Crowell first, then Evans.

[Earthquake Enyart]

What do you guys want him to say?

[Tatonka]

i dont know how you got anything negative out of that to warrant the "this doesnt sound good".

Yeah, me neither.

The quote is good. It says that they're going to try hard to resign him because he's a core player.

[Mr B]

"We are trying to pay him less than he can get somewhere else and we hope he takes it because we really want him here."

You have got to be kidding.

[Mr. Miyagi]

I don't understand why some of you guys are turning your backs on him. Screw him and move on? What has he done to lose your loyalty? He's done nothing but quietly lead the team, produce when he has to. The QB situation is not his fault.

This guy has Marvin Harrison written all over him. Lock him up for good already.

well for starters, some people feel he's a JP licker.

[raphael120]

If I were Lee, I would be wanting out of this mess of a franchise. Think of what he's had to deal with as a WR. He could make tons of money elsewhere, look at the money being thrown out to lesser WR's. Lee would be insane to not go somewhere else.

[ddaryl]

This just re-enforces my thought process in regards to drafting 2 WR's this year...

One to replace Lee, and one to be a bonafide #2 threat.

Next year we franchise Lee and trade him for a #1 pick... Which means we could possibly trade away next years #1 to make moves this year.
