Jason Cole article: Brees - 3rd Franchise Tag? CBA Wording
If this thread accomplishes anything, it is making clear just how ambiguous the wording is
There are opinions on both sides that seem to believe it's clear that it's meant one way or the other.
I'm no lawyer, but I suspect that anytime there's a debate over what a legal document "means" or "intends to say", you have a problem. And Condon, apparently, is taking full advantage of that.
I don't know who wins this debate, but I think Condon has a shot, and I think this is very bad news for us as fans.
