Re: Pat Kirwan says his close source to the team says NE will be bidding hard for Pep
Thats using flawed logic. That assumes that just because you Franchise him means he truly is top 5 at his position. the DE tag being higher than QB indicates the increased value in the position.
example: when we tagged Tebucky Jones by no means did we think he was a top five safety but we didnt want to let him walk for nothing.
In this case you have the more established player at the higher priced postion so one could argue you were right but IMO the logic is wrong....
But also factor in that Cassel is a few years younger with much less wear and tear and I say its pretty even.
Peppers' tag $ is HIGHER than that of Cassel's, therefore he's viewed as being the BETTER player! Understood?
