Dustin Keller doesnt want to be franchised (lol)

He's right though, franchising sucks for a football player. You risk a long term contract for a one year contract in a sport where careers are short

 

This team is full of morons.

The front office is no better.

 

He by no means deserves a franchise tag. Wish we could use it on Landry though..

 

Did you read the article?

 

tt69d beat me to it

 

i don't think the article is right. i think landry has a no franchise clause

 

Did you know that Landry has a clause in his contract stating that the Jets cant use the franchise tag on him?

I see that you are going to try and jump down my back now...

 

No, but I didn't write or fact check the article either.

 

It's a shame that Dustin A. Couldn't be consistent and B. Was a walking vagina over his five years. He had such potential but all he's amounted to is a slightly above average Tight End. He'll sign a decent small value deal this off-season somewhere else and we'll be rid of him.

 

Well before you try and call someone out, make sure you are correct yourself.

 

It still sucks no matter who you blame.

 

I think we can accommodate Keller's desire not to be franchised.

Just in case anybody wants direct link to the article.

 

Keller came up real short in a pivotal year in his career. Still though, I wouldn't mind bringing him back for the right price..if only we could get he & Cumberland on the field at the same time for more than a half.

 

The right price is vet minimum.

 

Luckily for Keller & everybody not batshit insane within Jets organization, there is agreement on no franchise tag.

btw,
From the same article, franchise mark for a tight end this year is $5.962 million.

 

Someone will throw big money at him. I could see him joining Schotty in St. Louis.

 

he would only make 5 million to play a game next year? oh what a fucking tragedy.
