"Multiple league sources" tell NJ.com the Dolphins could franchise tag free agent DE Olivier Vernon with an eye toward trading him.

This would make way more sense than just letting him walk. Tag and trade would be a great worst case scenario, assuming the Fins and OV can't work out a deal. I like this.

This won't happen but I would take a second for him or trade for a LT
 
Just posted in another thread also but think that would be difficult for another team to give him a big contract and give up somethiing else up on top of that.
 
Has this ever happened?

I heard the jets say the same thing with Wilkerson.

This isn't the NBA, where this kind of thing happens all the time. I don't remember this ever happening.

Sounds like bs to me.
 
It is a great move. OV is an asset that you do not let walk out the door. Tag and keep or tag and trade for a good pick. I would take a 2nd straight up for him.

Tagging OV has to be the move.
 
At best maybe a (1st rounder) or (2nd & 4th) if there is a team who thinks they are a player or two away. Teams tend to shy away from giving up picks AND a fat contract.
 
Thing is, if you tag him and cant find a trade partner, you're stuck paying a middle of the pack player top 5 money...
 
let someone else take on that horrible contract

The last one I remember is Corey Williams. Packers got a 2nd round pick for him after tagging him.

I thought you could remove the tag if you wanted to? He's not worth 15 mill a year....maybe Ireland will trade for him....lol

Ozzy rules

Cowboys gave up two 1st rounder for Joey Galloway in 2000.
 
Doubt you get more than a 2nd round pick (and maybe a later round pick). I would still try to negotiate something with Vernon. He isn't worth paying 15 mm but its tough to find edge rushers.
