    I’ve never heard that before. In fact, the deal Revis signed with the pats purposefully had a 2nd year built in to prevent New England from tagging him.
    I’m going to need to see a link to what you claim.

    I may be wrong. I just remembered hearing something years ago about not being able to Franchise Tag a player only on a 1 year deal. I've looked deeper into it just now and couldn't find such information so I guess I've been wrong the entire time.

    You can franchise tag a player on a one-year contract - the Vikings seriously considered doing it to Case Keenum this year before they decided to go for Cousins.

    Perfect example. Thank you. I stand corrected.

    Better for the Jets right. Just say Teddy does indeed start over Darnold being just a rookie. And say Bridgewater balls out. Leads us to an 11-5 or 12-4 type season. And becomes 2018's Comeback Player of the Year.

    So now. Instead of letting him walk into free agency, Maccagnan can apply the Franchise Tag on Teddy in order to prevent a team like Miami or possibly New England stealing Bridgewater from our roster.

    I like it.

    All hypothetical of course.

    How would Sam Darnold take it, being a backup in 2018 along with then being a backup for both the 2019 & 2020 seasons after potentially hitting Teddy with back to back consecutive x2 franchise tags.

    Crazy to think about.

    Is Darrelle Revis human? Is Jethro Tull back? I'm like Hamlet! I can't decide!

    Answering the original question.

    Bridgewater is a nice qb, but Sam’s potential is through the roof. I think the Jets should plan to hold on to Bridgewater for the season. If a playoff team loses their starter and a crazy offer comes the Jets way (2nd rounder), then trade him.

    As far as the scenario presented, it’s sort of like playing Monday morning armchair qb. Like saying if Jamal Adams gets hurt this year and never plays another down of football in his life, do you think he was worth drafting in rd. 1, when we could have had XXX player...

    The goal is to make your team better and if you always play it safe, you’re probably always going to be mediocre.

    I think you mean just a 1 year contract, not a "prove it" contract.

    "Prove it" indicates that once you do just that you get an extension.

    It's not going to happen. Franchising a QB cost BIG BUCKS. Sam will be at least as good as Teddy in a year or two. Franchising Teddy would be thinking short term fix, whereas sticking with Sam sets the Jets up for future.

    Any impending free agent player can be tagged by his team, regardless of the length of contract he signed.

    Oh I am well aware. I was being tactful rather than just flat out telling him he was dead wrong.
    It’s a kinder gentler thing I am trying.
    I don’t think it’s going to stick though.

    If it’s not stats, or ages, or schools, or conferences, or 40 times, I guess it’s hard to look up.

    "Prove it" as in he is proving he can literally play football again. Reports were saying his doctors were concerned he was in jeopardy of losing his leg at the time of the injury. So there was still trepidation about re-injury, it seems, when the Jets signed him.

    This was reflected within his incentive laden contract.

    This. The situation appears tricky because Teddy is having a nice camp and preseason thus far. But in all reality, the franchise is banking on Sam being the guy.

    Teddy was a smart chess vs checkers type of signing. Any other team in the league could have had him. Hell, there are teams that could have signed him to truly be their QB1.

    Typically not the interpretation of the term "prove it deal", but same implications I suppose.
