Ravens franchise Suggs...

[brandon27]

With no long-term contract in sight before Thursday's deadline, the Baltimore Ravens applied the team's franchise tag to linebacker Terrell Suggs on Tuesday.

The interesting twist to Suggs' franchising is whether or not it's being done at the right position. The Ravens franchised Suggs as a linebacker, which gives him a one-year tender offer at $8.065 million. Suggs claims he played more than 50 percent of the Ravens defensive snaps at defensive end, which has an $8.879 million tender offer.

There he goes... Sounds like this could get interesting though with Baltimore tagging him as a LB instead of DE to save some cash...

I don't understand why teams wait so long to resign long-term when the players want a contract right away. Free agency will come and Briggs will get a ridiculous contract and then Suggs will expect nothing less. Especially if he considers himself more of a DE because they make huge money.

Oh well, so much for him being a Dolphin. Really wanted him here too.
