With Franklin being tagged, and rumored to not be happy about and hasn't signed the tender or shown up in the bay, is anyone else nervous? It would be bad if the anchor to our D doesnt show!

Yep, but do you think he would leave 7.003M on the table. I dont think so. Im sure he wants more stability but from a FO standpoint, he had 1 legit year of elite production. If he can put together another year, then he deserves a 2 or 3 yr extension. He is already over 30.

If someone gave me 7 million I would be set for life. Franklin will come in for mandatory TC and then they will keep working on his contract. Hopefully the owners will come up with a new collective bargaining agreement and this will all be done and taken care of properly. Franklin will get his money.

I'm sure he'll be all business when practicing and during games. He is playing for a long-term contract after all.

he'll come in when he has to. its not the first time and it wont be the last time a player does this. 7 mil to a guy who was a career backup in baltimore is way too much money to pass up.
