Regarding the negotiations w QB Daniel Jones and WR Alec Pierce, they weren’t close as of my last conversations. I would say the franchise tag AND transition tag are in play. Ballard tends to work on deadline, so this isn’t surprising IMO.
The market for Pierce is 📈

Worst Case Scenario, IMO, if we have to use the two tags on AP and DJ in order to keep them from free agency.
It drives up the negoiated price and/or ends up in a HUGE one year contract.
Pay AP market value.
Roll with Leonard, AR and draft the best QB choice in the 2nd round if DJ is trying to get all-world money. Let the young guns duke it out to see who wins the starting job.
We cannot overpay DJ just because he is the best choice out there. Look at Miami....they paid Tua top dollar for a non-Top Dollar QB and are in cap he!! because of it.
