Corey Simon - FRANCHISED!
Whamo! Just like that, the Eagles placed the old franchise tag on Simon. While BDB is concerned about the DT position for next year (I was last year if you recall), I was somewhat surprised to see that label get placed on Simon. He missed some of training camp due to "personal" reasons and battled a few injuries this year. If he doesn't get a larger offer somewhere else (that the Eagles don't match), this tag puts him in the top 5 salary range for DT's in the league, something BDB thinks is too high of a price. Perhaps the Birds will lift the tag later and are just waiting to see if a team goes for him, leaving Philly with two first rounders.
Meanwhile, the clock needs to be rolled back, cuz it ain't 11 anymore, Toto.
