:hmmm:

If you know you're going to lose one of them, then yeah, you have to tag Bowe.

However, since the Franchise tag carries with it a guarantee of a 20% raise over last year's salary and Bowe was tagged last season, it's going to be a much more expensive tag on Bowe than it would be on Albert. Moreover, with Albert's back issues, the tag would be better placed on him to give him a chance to prove he's past the back problems and angle for a long-term deal.

I'd much rather tag Albert and sign Bowe, but if we can't get Bowe on a LTC, we don't really have a choice.

Tag him the first day you can.....and then work out a LTC before FA starts. No big deal.

FO is probably at 50 million and Bowe is probably at 80-90 million lol

They are in the middle of a negotiation with Bowe, this is part of it.

This. I know some were crowing on here that Albert passed his physical the other day so everything is fine with his back; however, anyone that has ever had a back problem knows that a back injury can flame up and show itself at any time. All the physical meant was that Albert was having a "good" back day. Add that to the fact that Albert is due for a payday then you realize that he had all the motivation in the world to withhold complaints regarding his back during the physical. Not making accusations but just sharing my opinion. Albert is clearly the one who should be tagged to see if he can hold up next season. It would be nice to get Bowe under contract.

I'd rather tag Albert over Bowe for one very selfish reason.

We're not going to be tempted to replace Bowe by using the #1 overall pick.

I do not want Luke Joeckel for ANY reason.

Because the "we" u mention are all different people.

True Chiefs fan...

Sign the MVP.

Agreed. If for some reason we draft a tackle first overall I would be more inclined to take Fisher anyways.

Milliner or Smith 1st overall would most likely be my choices.

This is good.

****ING REPORTED

But here's the thing - passing on Joeckel doesn't guarantee taking Geno. If we are really considering Joeckel ahead of Geno, then we're also considering Star, Moore, Werner and probably Milliner. All of those guys are players that are just as good as Joeckel and probably better.

So lets say we tag Albert - fine. But the fact that Joeckel was even in the running for 1.1 shows that the org. didn't like Geno as much as many of us do. So they'd probably just go with Star or something.

And then we'd still lose Bowe.

It wouldn't have to do with a regime change would it? The above statement is overflowing with stupidity and lack of critical thinking skills...
