If Ogun holds out, it would be stupid for Spielman to franchise Ogun. Ogun just came form a 15 sack season and yet no team even offered paying him top DE $. All the more he won't get franchise $ offers from other teams if he hasn't played most of the season.gordolphin said:they can franchise Ogun , next year, and then trade him, so they team could get something back, but the cap space it´s the problem
There was a team or two that were willing to pay top DE$, Chicago being one of them.....what prevented the deal was the draft pick compensation. Nobody was willing to give up a 1st and 3rd IN ADDITION to that huge chunk of money. But, you are correct in that if he sits he wont get anywhere near as good an offer in 2005 as he would if he had played.Justasportsfan said:If Ogun holds out, it would be stupid for Spielman to franchise Ogun.

If Spielman does not get Ogun to sign a contract , Ogun will be gone next year and the fins will not get anything. You can kiss that 1st and 4th (or whatever) goodbye. Then again, there's always Dan Snyder. :D
If Kelsay or Denny does not pan out, he may want to come to Buffalo for less $ to get back at the fins for screwing him over. :Dyankeehillbilly said:But, you are correct in that if he sits he wont get anywhere near as good an offer in 2005 as he would if he had played.

After what they did to us during the "M. Brunell Sweepstakes", they can take their offer and shove it!
