It would look bad if the Skins didn't make some sort of perfuctory attempt to sign him to a long-term deal. So they'll tag him and enter into negotiations for a long-term deal. But they really shouldn't sign him long-term and they won't. They'll just try to make it look good and then pay him for one year.

Meanwhile, the Skins need to find ways to generate more pressure from other players, as well, if they want to get the most out of Orakpo. He is not Lawrence Taylor but, with a little help, he can be even more effective in rushing the passer.

If we lose Orakpo it will be another Carlos Rogers, Laron Laundry situation for sure. Leave here and excell somewhere else. We've seen that too much in the last 20 years.
