beerme1 Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 Apparently Nate as I previously mentioned would be pissed by having the franchise tag placed on him, is proving me out. He has not signed and I don't think he will sign. He is this teams biggest headache right now weather you care to admit it or not, your problem. Although I figured he would sign and play at a level less than he is capable of, it now appears that he he is also saying screw you clowns! Mostly Sabre fans! So forget about using Nate for one year at reasonable money, he will sit out. Count on WM leaving as quick as he can also, but again, I have previously stated that as well so you know thats coming too. But back to Nate, I am dissapointed in this tactic but can't begrudge the guy the motive. What the hell, all the big shot NFL owners treat the players like cattle and Nate will be an example of how to stick it back to the cheap small market teams that wont show him the money. Take a first rounder and say see ya Nate!! if Marv can, Get Er Done Hahahaha

He'll sign, and he'll play.
ch19079 Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 i dont want him to sign a 1 year contract. i want him to sign a 5 year contract.
cantankerous Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 My god, wake up people! This is nothing new for franchise players! By the way...the season doesn't start til September...don't get your panties in a bunch so soon.
Ramius Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 Of course Nate would pass up the 7 mil salary for the season and sit out.

This will probably won't get done til right around training camp. There is NO WAY Nate sits. They are trying to negotiate a longer deal. If/when it become clear that isn't going to happen, he'll sign his one-year deal and report. This is how it usually happens with Franchised guys. Are you the new Chicken Little?
beerme1 Posted April 8, 2006 Author Posted April 8, 2006 Of course Nate would pass up the 7 mil salary for the season and sit out. 656478[/snapback] Wasn't there a receiver who did exactly that last year?

LevysEraII Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 And with the 8th selection in the 2006 NFL Draft the Buffalo Bills select: S/CB Michael Huff from the University Of Texas.
Ramius Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 Year before? 656511[/snapback] I cant remember when or if a franchise tagged player sat the season out. Sure, they want a long term contract and a bunch of them have held out through training camp, but come the start of the season, the player signs the tender and plays. They arent going to give up that much money to sit out and make a point.
ndirish1978 Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 Huff is overhyped. I really hope we get someone else.
