Cards tag Campbell.

Such as this, I'm sure...

Re: Contract for CC in 2011 based on DD's deal.

That would've worked anytime in 2011, including later in the season, IMO.

IMO = "In my opinion"

IMO = "In my opinion"

"would've worked" suggests a certain level of certainty, IMO notwithstanding.

Oh, totally agree, but it depends, because now they take the average over the last, what, 7 years, as opposed to the past 5 years. With the new CBA I mean. Perhaps I'm figuring it wrong (correct me if I'm wrong). I definitely think long term they'd be better off signing the dude, I'm just saying the franchise tag isn't as detrimental to teams as it used to be, that's one thing in the CBA they did that benefits the team.

(Oh and Duck I have no clue where you get your escalations man, as far as 120% and 144%, where did you catch that in the new CBA, I haven't read that)

I keep reading thats it is still the last 5 yrs. ??

Read Article 10 (Starts on Page 44) here of the new CBA.

That is how they determine the first year Tag figure. Then to use it again the increases apply.

Apples and oranges, IMO.

Dansby made it abundandlty clear that his motivation was to get paid and his loyalties were to no team. Campbell has stated multiple times that he wishes to remain with the team for the long haul and is optimistic he and the club will eventually come to a long-term agreement.

I'm 85% sure we'll see an extension by Week 1.

This will have no bearing on whether or not CC is with us beyond this season. It's free to talk about that as a player in his position right now. When it comes down to the time to talk money, that money will talk louder than any 'loyalty' to the team.

It did not detract Fitz, Dockett, and Wilson from re-signing. All of whom stated their desires publicly to be Cardinals long-term prior to getting their new contracts. So I guess loyalty does have some "bearing" on these negotiations.

I can assure you that loyalty would not have had a bearing if the player didn't fee that the money was right. In those cases, the players clearly felt that they were getting paid enough. Loyalty to the team is largely dead in pro sports these days. It is a very rare thing indeed. It is common for a player to talk about, sure, but show me a player that takes a 5 mill less contract out of loyalty, and I'll show you a unicorn.
