Mongo3451 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Issue w/ transition tag. I think the transition tag is more for a player you really want long term. If we slapped the transition tag on Berrian, you can bet another team will in fact present an offer sheet to him. Yea, we have the right to match it, but if the whole point is to not be locked into a long term deal for big bucks for Berrian, then what is the point. You still let him walk, and do so w/o compensation. I think the Franchise Tag is the way to go if we can't work a deal out. At this point, I think Berrian is too valuable to lose. Imagine who opposing defenses will respect on our offense if he is not on the field? Losing him will allow our opponents to creep a little closer to the line of scrimmage. Making any line, QB or RB improvements we make in the off-season moot. If we weren't still in the window of being a contending football team, I would say nevermind, as I really don't care for his lack of toughness and instincts. Right now, he's all we have that's both proven and effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
