We need some clarification on this. I believe that we offered a tender sheet to him. And because of that, I thought that if he signed we would have a week to match and if we didn't, then we would get a 7th rd pick. Much like Josh Brown of Seattle.

Regarding Tucker, I can't believe so many here want him gone. Any draft pick you may get for him would be low and you'd have to develop the payer. Can we even get a low pick if we lose him? Even if we could, there's still no guarantee the new guy will become at least a good backup. In Tucker we already have a capable backup who is still developing and has more upside. Why would you want to lose that and replace him w/ a completelu unproven player at OT or any other position? It makes no sense for people here to want Tucker gone - Really!!!

TO is getting his money to play... not just a big chunk up front for whipping the Sharpie out of his sock...
Furthermore... I wish we could keep Tucker, I'd like to see him at guard, not tackle... He'd be a monster at guard.

One of the best in the nation in college. Had some maturity/footwork/weight problems before the draft and went undrafted. Signed by us we moved him to OT were he sucked it up.
