Will the Seahawks tag Diggs ?

[Chawker]

Will the Seahawks have to use a franchise tag on Diggs or let him slide into the open market. I guess we'll know by march 16.

He would be the obvious place to use the tag this year, if they use it. Hopefully we can tag him for now (if necessary) and then work out a more team friendly long term deal later. Better yet, get a deal done in the next couple of weeks.

I think they'll offer him a reasonable extension, and if he plays hardball or doesn't want to sign the new deal? They'll franchise him.

Safety is one of the most team friendly franchise tag position groups. I think around 13M for 2022?

i think it will go down to the last minute and Diggs will hold out during training camp...I think he wants to be here and the Hawks want him here, it's just a matter of working out the money.. I dislike this part of the game

Nope - have to let him go unfortunately.

And why is that?

Simple roster construction. When you have one of the worst DL's in the league it doesn't make much sense to have two safeties making $15 Million + each. Safe assumption Diggs will want at least $14 million minimum, and that money is better used shoring up the DL.

Franchise tag for safeties is only $12.9 million.

I would disagree they have one of the worst D lines in the league...they were VERY good against the run could have been better against the pass but some of that was scheme...

It would certainly earn the Hawks a bit of good will from Diggs if they did. His free agent market had to have been savaged by the injury. That was gnarly.

12.9 mil for a franchise tag, get it done. Better than letting him walk imo.
Unless they are working on a contract, which none of us know. Including the media with all their stories for clicks.
