The Ravens have chosen not to place the franchise tag on Pro Bowl LB Adalius Thomas.
Thomas is about to become a very rich man. With at least 3-4 teams interested in him, a signing bonus between $15-$20 million wouldn't shock us. Only Nate Clements may make more this month. He's unlikely to return to Baltimore because they don't have the cap room.

One last franchise tag...
Seahawks name K Josh Brown their franchise player.
If he signed the one-year tender, Brown would make roughly $2 million next season. But the Seahawks are expected to aggressively try to sign him to a longer deal. Brown has finished thirteenth among kickers in points scored two years running.

Why? Sometimes you don't have anyone else you need or want to franchise.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

I think Sloww's question is, why would you want to p[ay top-5 money to a kicker who isn't even in the top 10?Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

I think that's a sad commentary on the condition of their team, or management's perception of it.

Not strictly a free agent
What do Chicago fans think of the on-going Lovie Smith saga?“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Dillon seeks release, may play elsewhere
Corey Dillon's long-term football future is in question. But his short-term future is apparently not with the New England Patriots.
Dillon's agent, Steve Feldman, told ESPN.com's John Clayton on Friday that he will be talking to other teams about their interest in the veteran running back. Feldman said he and Dillon talked to Patriots coach Bill Belichick about Dillon's role in 2007 and that dillon doesn't want to be a back getting only seven to 10 carries a game.
That followed a report in The Boston Globe in which Dillon said he would ask the Patriots for his release and that he has contemplated retirement. Clayton reported Dillon has asked for his release and was told it would be granted on or before March 2.
"I think more of my health, how I envision myself five, 10 years down the road," he told the Globe. "I don't want to be broken down, not able to play with my kids."
He said the prospect of his returning to another team was unlikely, but anything's possible.
"Football is the furthest thing on my mind right now," Dillon said in the Globe story. "I may wake up and feel the itch and decide I still want to shake it, but as of now, I doubt that will happen."
Dillon, who is under contract for the next three seasons with a 2007 salary cap charge of $4.4 million, told the newspaper he has yet to speak with the team.
"I've been blessed and fortunate enough to play 10 years," he said. "I can get up and walk around and be comfortable. That's one of the big determining factors."
Dillon spent the last three seasons with the Patriots after a seven-year stay with the Cincinnati Bengals. He rushed for 812 yards and 13 touchdowns last season and had shared carries with rookie Laurence Maroney.
If he retires, Dillon would leave the game with one Super Bowl title (with the Patriots in 2004), 11,241 rushing yards (14th on the league's all-time list) and 82 touchdowns.
"I gave them what they wanted; I didn't come in and steal money," Dillon told the Globe. "I felt like the money they spent was well earned."Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. - Ben Franklin
