Well he is 30 so he doesnt have a whole lot of tread left on the tires.

Yep and this happens all the time when guys are playing in a contract year....they dominate, then get paid and all of a sudden there not as hungry so they stop laying it on the line.

If we could sign him for a couple years at a reasonable price it would be nice, otherwise I say let him go.

We better pay Franklin, we already have enough holes to fill in the offseason.

Let him go? It took us years to find a NT and you want to let him go?

As long as it's for an outrageous amount of money, I'm all for re-signing the guy. But we also need to look for a NT in the draft.

My thought exactly. WMcCloughan needs to find a good NT prospect in the second day of the draft.

If we dont resign him we will most likely use the franchise tag on franklin...
