thebandit27 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Makes sense...kickers make peanuts, tag is an easy way to keep them without negotiating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Jerky Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) This will only look bad if they can't re-sign McCourty. Other then that it is a nice cheap tag number which is a good move... If they can re-sign McCourty. Edited March 2, 2015 by Beef Jerky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Pats place franchise tag on Gostkowski; McCourty not tendered the Putrids will have eight days to get a long-term deal with McCourty before he hits the open market on March 10 Edited March 2, 2015 by BillsFan-4-Ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mcbride Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Smart move. Gostkowski is amazing - he had a 94.6 percent accuracy rate this year and a 92.7 percent rate last year. He's way above average, and the disparity between him and opposing kickers probably gives the Pats 1-2 extra wins a year. He's also 8 of 9 from 50+ yards in the last three seasons. Wow.

Uffalo Ills Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 except accuracy and PATs, I'd rather have Carpenter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets Hater Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) I think they let McCourty go and keep Revis. Gotskowsky was actually a smart tag. He is very good. They did the same thing with Vinatieri IIRC. Edited March 2, 2015 by Jets Hater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did the same thing with Vinatieri IIRC.i was looking at the tag list from 2 yrs ago, and the only one that actually worked out was a punter (mcafee). Tagging specialists is smart.
