Skinny Posts: Tag time
Adam Schefter reports that the Cardinals are expected to use their franchise tag on Karlos Dansby for the second straight year. They will have to pay him $9.6 million if they can’t get him signed to a long-term deal. After watching a lot of Cardinals games over the last month, I think he’s worth it. He’s the key player on their defense; absolutely a Pro Bowl quality player.
Tagging Dansby is a decent indication they are confident they can re-sign Kurt Warner.
In other franchise news courtesy of NFL.com, the Panthers are close to locking up Jordan Gross, which would allow them to tag Julius Peppers.
Meachem’s three plays over 45 yards were nice, but he’s the 22nd among his rookie class in receiving yards in his short career despite playing on a pass-happy offense. Eight ’08 rookies also out-produced Meachem’s two combined seasons. hell, eight Saints caught more passes than him in '08 (Mark Campbell tied him for ninth.)
If I was searching for a recent comp for Meachem’s career start, it would probably be Henderson. That’s not a good sign either.
