Who Does The Franchise Tag Go To This Year?

But, unless I am mistaken, isnt freeney already in his final year of contract, therefore making it impossible to restructure his deal?

it wouldnt be a restructure..it would be an extension, the benneffit would be they can lower drastically the cap hit IMO

[DanishColtsFan]

I voted for Mathis. Tbh we can manage without Reggie Wayne on the roster, if Manning is playing that is. I mean Manning made Blair White look like a decent NFL receiver. And I think that our pass rush would cease to exist if Mathis isn't on the field, Freeney would get too much attention and our DTs aren't bringing a whole lot of pressure.

Where was this "Sunday" all season???

I just wish Jeff Saturday had named one of his kids Friday...

That would have been awesome.

"What your name kid?"

"Friday Saturday" LOL

Maybe they can agree to void the last year and give him an extension?

[Smitto]

If wayne got the franchise tag i bet he would blow up lol

[MTC]

Definitely Sunday! He is our best player by far.

[Captain Americolt]

Is there a "none" choice? Guess Sunday will do.

[swflacoltsfans]

whos sunday?

The day after Saturday and day before Monday.

[CS Colts Fan]

Mathis..

Garcon wants to test the FA market.

Reggie wants to have top pay

both from SB or Colts authority

[a06cc]

Robert Mathis and Jeff Saturday. But Saturday will never show up on Sunday!

[Balzer40]

I went with Sunday because they won't use the franchise tag this yr..

[Malakai432]

sunday is the super double secret backup quarterback we've been secretly saving for a rainy day

Ah, I see. That explains it. Now we just need it to rain.

[Malakai432]

I went with Sunday just because he seems to be the most critical component to the Colts special teams, offense and defense considering he can play all three. He's invisible though that's why we can't see him.

[MB-ColtsFan]

That would have been awesome.

"What your name kid?"

"Friday Saturday" LOL

middle name would be "Night".

I go with the restructure of Free's contract and re-signing Mathis - IF Peyton doesn't return next year.

If Peyton is looking good and returns next year i still want Reggie being Peyton's primary receiver. I want another consistently good year out of Garçon before i trust him in that role.

[Coffeedrinker]

i really do love mathis, but i wanna see what hughes can do when given the chance to start

I really like Mathis as well but I think the combination of Anderson (assuming they sign him to a new contract)/Hughes makes Mathis expendable.

[super8todd]

Saturday is likely to just retire.. Mathis is the best option, but both Mathis and Wayne are going to complain when we do tag either of them.

Saturday may retire... has he given any indication that he is going to or even contemplating retirement?

[Thewholefnshow28]

And that's all that needs to be said about that.

How are you going to restructure a contract that will be in the final year of the contract? You will have to sign Freeney to an extension to do any kind of restructuring.

Honestly, I would probably give it to Wayne. We could probably get away with Garcon, Collie and a rookie as our top three WRs with Peyton out there, but we need a seasoned vet who is reliable if we are going to put a rookie out there.

I sure as heck would not give the franchise tag to Garcon. The guy is very inconsistent and had his best year in a contract year.
