If a franchise tag for a nose tackle would have only cost $7.96 million, why did we not do it with Solai?

 

[TwahLah]

Because of last year... it would be 120% of his salary from last year since he made 12M, and that is obviously higher than 7.96. I believe so anyway. Haha, 3 number ratios in the same sentence is too much for me to handle.

 

[Mr. Day]

In a 4-3 Soliai is not as important. Unfortunately I can see the Jets bringing him in and being a problem.

 

[Canadi-Phin]

Because we did it last year and it's either top 5 or 115% of the year before which ever is higher. We tagged him for 12-14 mil last year.

 

[Aqua Shadow]

because he still gets a 20% raise since we tagged him last season.

Screw him and his greedy agent

Jets don't have enough money. They are only 7M under the cap right now and have bigger needs than NT.

jets are actually like 15 under the cap

 

[HybridPHIN 23]

so how much would Solia cost had we tagged him ? 15 million for one season ?
This is silly and the 3-4 is not worth the trouble. Solia is going to command a contract close to Super Mario's.......

I think the Jets would rather have Pouha back he is just as good and prob cheaper

Link? DBrick restructered, and the Sanchez extension frees up 6.4 million.

Agreed. In the past, I have been a defender of Soliai, but no more. He was given a handsome salary and leap of faith by this organization last season.
