The franchise tag is slavery and bullshyt - it forces guys to put it all on the line for a year and prevents free market competition. There is no collective bargaining with that weak ass nfl player union

they can tag him again next year
The argument isnt what he called himself on twitter (which is the dumbest argument I ever heard. shyt I call myself a TE on my twitter page too, so I should get paid like one) and its not about what he actually is on the football field. Its about the letter of the collective bargaining agreement.
If you feel that he lined up 2/3rds of his plays in the typical wide receiver position, then he should have been paid like a wide receiver. Simple as that. Thats exactly what the agreement states. If, on the other hand, you feel as if a TE can line up tight or wide and still be designated as a TE, then he should be paid as a TE.
Based on my interpretation of the agreement, I would have to conclude w/ the arbitrator. I still hope a team out there pays the man what he's worth, tho.

Wait, what?Maybe I don't understand NFL contracts, enough, but; I though you could only do that on the last year of the contract and only do it to a player once.

I seen it on Espn the day the ruling came down, im not sure how but I know they said they could

But I expect them to work out some long term shyt regardless
I don't. If I'm still right and he's a free agent next year, he's going after the money. The Saints can't afford to pay him Elite WR money.
