Fletcher is our most valuable free agent, but ive got no reason to think we wont work something out. After that, who else on our team that is a FA worth franchising? Landry would be the closest bet, but i think both he and the team are ready to move on. Even if we did want him, no one is going to offer him money equal to what the franchise tender would pay due to his injury history, so we could sign him on the cheap.

as far as davis goes, i'm 100% behind franchising him. Its just a one year deal at a reasonable cost. considering he's one joint away from being suspended a whole year, a one year deal is perfect for him. It gives Davis a year to prove he can stay clean and prove he deserves the big payday. If he plays well, hes more than worth top 5 TE money in a long-term deal. If not, its only one year so were really using 5 MM in cap space on him. GREAT value in my opinion .
