The bengals have chosen to use there franchise tag on a place kicker. To ask my follwers, Do you are agree with this move? I am indifferent to this move. I am waiting to see what will happen with free agent pick ups. I think this was their best options since franchise tagging T.J. wasn't an option because number 84 didn't want the tag. Shayne Graham is the most consistent kicker since the days of Rackers and Breech. And it is true that kickers can win games, but I believe personally that kickers have to be in a position to win these games. And you get into the position to win these games by have star offensive players and a solid defense to keep you in ball games. The other argument I would make against this decision is that a good kicker in the NFL is a dime a dozen. And Shayne Graham can be replaced. T.J is going to be harder to replace and you could have used the money you had to pay the players you need. I personally would have tagged Cedric Benson and then you build on your running game, or I would have not used the franchise tag at all and distributed the money evenly throughout the roster. I think they will make enough off season moves that they will be ok.
