Looks like they will tag him if they can't complete the deal.

Good, it is what they should do. Do not really see an issue with that unless they plan on signing every big name free agent out there.

No. let him walk. He is not a top tier OLB. If they franchise him that's 11.4 mil (1/3 of the available cap) tied up on an average player. Where they could sign 2 capable free agents. The Skins are not in a position to overpay for a fair to good player that doesn't make big plays on a regular basis.

It is a one year deal. It won't impact them as much as a multi year deal would.

And going out and signing a bunch of free agents has proven to fail over and over again.

He is not elite but he is on a one year contract. It won't have a huge impact on any future plans they might have.

If it's for 1yr why do it?

Is this the Super bowl year?

Why commit to a one year 11+ million dollar contract when that money can be put into maybe 2 starters? If he thinks he can get 12 million a year, what do you do after this year when he is still demanding 12 mil. per, cut him then?
