I also read that we can rescind the tag at any time but can't use the tag then until next year. So if no teams make offers or the offers are 4 to 6 mil we can remove the tag and offer a more CAP friendly amount and see if he takes it. His feelings may get hurt but hopefully he says okay the NFL doesn't understand my true worth and I'll just have to show them again how good I am.

It can't be rescinded once he signs though, no?

Wow. If I were Drake, I wouldn't waste a moment signing that tender.

certainly after about 1 hour of contact from other teams

he will find out if he can get more than $8mm in guaranteed money pretty quickly

He can definitely get more than 8M guaranteed. Its just a matter of the years. If he takes the tag this year, he gets to be a FA again next year after banking 8M....but then hes a year older.

If we want to lock him up, I think we need to offer 4 years, 25 million with like 15 guaranteed.

It sounds like Drake is much like a restricted free agent in the NBA with the Cardinals having the right to match.

What I wouldn't want is him tying up the Cardinals money until July 22nd. However, that wouldn't be in his best interest either.

Very surprised 4 teams are coming for Johnson . Maybe his agent told them he would redo his deal

What I read earlier was the Texans were considering trading Deandre Hopkins, and there are 4 teams interested in getting DH.

INCLUDING AZ.

Remember the contract only guarantees 1 year of 8.5 or whatever.

the cards could offer 21 mill and guarantee 15m.

what does Drake want?

Do these 4 teams not have access to our game film from last year?
Can you imagine Johnson trying to play with Watson? Yuck.
Watson is already used to running for his life...... This would just compound that problem by 100.
TBF after the Falcons game he was on pace for an 800/800 season. Still finished the season as one of our top wrs. Probably would be a great pass catcher out of the backfield for the Texans.
