Pats put franchise tag on Samuel

[EDITOR'S NOTE] - I just noticed this at espn.com and I'm glad someone put something up about it. Samuel getting tagged, along with Lance Briggs, shakes up the value of the remaining free agents. However, if we can land Adalius Thomas and some d-line help it could make up for not signing a big name corner. Spencer is a solid option on one side and a better pass rush could help cover for weakness in the secondary.

The Bears laid the franchise tag on Lance Briggs too, but the Samuel move is the one that really hurts. The only top-notch CB left on the free agent market is Clements, who has already stated his desire to cash in big time. Now that he's the only real option out there, he'll likely get his wish.

Wow!
That sucks. I still don't think Clements is the answer if he wants top dollar. On to the draft and the waiver wire...

not surprising about Samuel
really a no brainer move by the Pats. Unfortunately, that does raise the price tag on Clements.
Bring back Eddie D.
