Could the Mismanagement of QBs Cost Us Fitz?

[BigRedRage]

Whomever says he can't be franchised is wrong Russ. He absolutely can be. That assuming there even is a tag in the new collective bargaining agreement.

The problem with that is that his cap # if there is one goes up to like a top 5 QB salary. But he CAN be franchised.

so why did somers report he had a no franchise clause?

From everything I've read & heard, Shane is absolutely wrong on this issue. I would think that most the peeps who write about the Redbirds know more about details in a players contract than us fans. Urban & Somers have the insight.

Can we please stop saying this. It isnt true.

When Fitz restructured his contract, he lifted the no trade clause.

And yes, Fitz has a no franchise tag clause in his contract. I tried to find something local but this should suffice:

I heard on the Gambo & Ash show this afternoon when they were interviewing Ron Jaworski; they all said that Fitzgerald's contract stated that they could not franchise him. They went on to say that this is common information with all the GMs and with the current unstable Cardinal qb situation that Fitz could go wherever he wants and probably will.
