Today is franchise tag day. 4:00pm EST deadline.

@AdamSchefter: Game of tag is underway: Chiefs officially placed their franchise tag on LB Justin Houston, per team source.

 

@AdamSchefter: Broncos will place their franchise tag of WR Demaryius Thomas before today's 4 ET deadline.

 

@AlbertBreer: Lions announce they will not place the franchise tag on Ndamukong Suh. Bc of old-system rookie deal and restructures, would've cost $26.89M.

 

@AdamSchefter: So unless Detroit re-signs Ndamukong Suh by next Tuesday, he is free to leave Lions for highest bidder...

Ahmad Carroll's game on opening day in Detroit back in 2005 ranks #1a, Brad Jones in the opener last year is #1b. Dishonorable mention also goes to any of the seven games Allen Barbre (also a member of the Philadelphia Eagles, LOL) started in 2009 and Tyrone Williams on MNF against the Vikings in '98.

Thinking about it, McCoy certainly slipped a bit last year. Plus there's this.

@adbrandt: Kiko Alonso has two years left on his contract at $746,000 and $942,000. LeSean McCoy has two years left on his contract at $6.9M and $7.6M.

 

EDIT: @adbrandt: Mentioned McCoy contract numbers of $6.9M and $7.6M, apologies, those are for 2016 and 2017.  For 2015, number is $10.25 million.

Alonso played for Kelly at Oregon, too, IIRC.

Seems like a terrible trade for the Bills.  They get an aging, overused RB at a high salary who likely wants an extension and give up a young 3 down linebacker making less than a million per year.  Unless they had concerns about his injury, no idea what they did this.  

 

Bills have spent 3 first rounders on RBs since 2003 (McGahee, Lynch and Spiller) and had another stud RB in that time (Fred Jackson).  They are the prime example as to why spending high draft picks on runningbacks is a fruitless venture.
