 Dallas paper reporting NO tag for Miles Austin?
We've all heard the jazz before about the Parcells - Miles Austin connection - this should fuel the fire further. According to the article, no franchise tag coming for Austin. http://theredzone.org/BlogDescription.aspx?EntryId=3324

 Re: Dallas paper reporting NO tag for Miles Austin?
Yeah but who's giving up a 1st and 3rd for a guy who had one great season?

If he's a RFA, then we have to give up picks. If he's franchised, then that's it...he's off market.

 Re: Dallas paper reporting NO tag for Miles Austin?
Correct me if Im wrong... but isn't he another slot WR that we don't need?
If Im not mistaken Bess, Hartline and even Ginn will handle those duties for next year...
No point in giving a 1st, 2nd or you name it for a slot WR that had 1 good season.
Next topic...

 Re: Dallas paper reporting NO tag for Miles Austin?
Iceberg, me and you must have been thinking along the same lines, because I bought him up last year as well. Parcells was obviously familiar with him as he was the on who bought him in.
People will want to say it's one year, but in that one year you can see his size, speed and his ability to make plays after the catch, or YAC.
I saw it in the kid the limited opporunities he got while with Dallas the year before when TO was still on the roster.
No way he ends up in Miami this year as the Cowboys are putting a tender of a 1 & 3rd round pick for him if you make an offer and they don't match it.

Slot receiver? The kid is 6'3, 214 lbs. with speed. He's a hell of a lot better than Roy Williams.

 Re: Dallas paper reporting NO tag for Miles Austin?
I wouldn't tag him either. I thought they were in discussions for a long term deal.

 Re: Dallas paper reporting NO tag for Miles Austin?
mikey, I like Miles Austin a lot also and wish Miami would have made a run at him last year. With that being said, no way Parcells give up 2 picks in a draft that is considered to be one of the deeper draft in a long time.

 Re: Dallas paper reporting NO tag for Miles Austin?
A little more info why Parcells will probably not go after Austin ... KFFL wrote: Not going to go after Austin? Fri, 19 Feb 2010 05:25:00 -0800
Todd Archer, of The Dallas Morning News, speculates the Miami Dolphins will not try to sign Dallas Cowboys WR Miles Austin this offseason. Dolphins vice president of football operations Bill Parcells has signed a restricted free agent that received the highest tender from another team before. However, Parcells might not go after Austin because of his great relationship with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. http://www.kffl.com/team/22/NFL
