I think the we slap the Franchise Tag on Bowe, and work to re-sign Carr asap (I thought he was a restricted FA this year, but I'm thinking that was last off season and all he did was sign the 1 year tender??) if he is restricted we will receive compensation (draft pick) if he signs elsewhere.
As for Cassel and Orton, I know people are saying they want to see them battle it out in training camp but I really think they need to make a decision on them as soon as they can. I think the earlier we could move one, the better it will be for us to hopefully receive a draft pick in return.
I wanna say the new CBA restricts teams from being able to just trade players for draft picks, so the likelihood of us getting a pick for Cassel will probably not happen if that is the case (I don't know if you can package a player and a pick for another player and a pick.....so that may be a possibility) but as for Orton we do receive compensation if he signs anywhere else.
I would like to see us grab another pick or two, but the most likely scenario looks like we can only get them if Orton signs elsewhere.
