TBayXXXVII 2,116 Posted March 15, 2020 I'm surprised Henry got tagged. The guy gets hurt every year. I'd let him walk. Let him be someone else's IR spot holder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would actually be the best reason to tag him. you get one more year while he is in his prime. They will probably run the hell out of him and then discard at end of season.

IF they dont sign him to a long term deal he will be gone by end of this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IF they dont sign him to a long term deal he will be gone by end of this season. Oh, you could be right on the numbers... but that's why I say, let someone else deal with him. I'd stretch it to $6M, but that's it. He's hurt every year. A $10M deal for Henry is like $20M for someone who plays every game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This way, the fans stay happy, and they have hedged their bets for an extra 3-4 million dollars. if he (or the team) sucks next year, I suspect they will dump him like yesterdays garbage at year end.

If I'm the Chargers fan, I'd rather give up a 2nd round pick for OJ Howard. Or, give that $10M-$12M to Hooper (which is apparently what he got/is getting, from Cleveland).
