The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel now confirms that free agent Matt Flynn receiving the Packers' franchise tag is "not going to happen."
Beat writer Tom Silverstein calculated the club's cap commitments, and they only have $7 million to work with toward re-signing Jermichael Finley and Scott Wells, among others. Tagging Flynn would cost $14 million, fully guaranteed. The franchise tag for tight ends is dropping from $7.3 million to $5.5 million under the new CBA, so Finley is almost certain to be tagged. Flynn will hit the open market, and the Dolphins are the favorites to sign him. rotoworld.com

Why would they franchise tag him?

I would tag Finley, if anyone

If Finley is franchised what would it cost us to get him?

Two first round picks.

And a lot of money for Finley.

That's too much. The picks not the money.

I’d give that for Bress If he was franchised though. What would it cost for Bress?
