Teams have till March 11th to get deals done. Today is the last day to use the tag....

Gorilla face is a fuckin novice!!! he couldn't run an arena football team!!

I believe the date is March 8th, but am not 100% sure. Regardless, RM is letting Houston and Veldeer twist in the wind after arguably overpaying Barnes and Jones. Unbelievable - yet, sadly too believable.

March 8th is when agents can start talking to other teams...no signings till the 11th...

stop crying homos! there is plenty of time to get it done.

Raiders stay away from tags
March, 3, 2014

The Oakland Raiders didn't utilize the franchise tag, or even the transition tag, on either left tackle Jared Veldheer or defensive end Lamarr Houston, which should not be seen as a shortcoming by general manager Reggie McKenzie … though it is easy to see why fans might be frustrated by the Raiders not locking up either player. Especially since they have some $65 million in cap space with which to play.

But remember: McKenzie said he did not want to use the franchise tag -- which is $13.1 million for defensive ends, $11.7 million -- and would rather work out long-term deals with the free agents he wants to retain. And yes, McKenzie said he wants to keep both players.

Plus, Veldheer said he does not want to be tagged anyway.

Free agency does not begin until March 11, so McKenzie still has time to work out deals with either one or both before they hit the open market.
