Gostowski? That's a surprise! Thought he'd be gone, despite being an absolutely cracking kicker.

I'm surprised this happened! Good trade for sexy rexy.
That's a horrible trade for buffalo.
McCoy seems to be on the way down. bad trade from buffalo
Is there someone who can explain to me how the franchise and transition tag work ?
Apparently the player can refuse to play for the team who tagged him. What happens then ?

They don't play the season. Quite a few players refuse to sign it to make a point. However, if they don't sign it, they don't get an accredited season, which means they can be tagged again next year without significantly increased pay (I believe there is a limit on the amount of times a player can be franchised. Also, if a player is tagged 2 years in a row, then the second years pay is significantly larger than the first years).
To avoid missing out on an accredited season, whilst still making a point, some players such as Logan Mankins will only sign the tag halfway through the season, so they play the required amount of games to get an accredited season, whilst still making their point.
Thanks, and when a player has a transition tag, the team who signs during the free agency has to pay with a draft pick ?
Thanks
Patriots are not picking up Vince Wilfork's option 
Sucks, but has to be done, frees up $8 million in the salary cap which is a lot for a player his age and at his stage in career. He could return on a reduced deal if nobody picks him up in free agency. Here is his statement.

Literally a big loss! Great statement from him, glad he got to win another ring.
Hopefully this money goes towards Revis. Really imperative we keep him. To lose Wilfork, Revis & McCourty would be awful!

I would like to think that this move is being made so that they are freeing up enough cap room for a Revis deal.
Indeed, frees us up 11 odd million in cap as well as picking up a very good young linebacker.
They need a RB but you do worry about the wear and tear on a back with as many years (carries) as he has. He could go downhill fast. The locals are thrilled about it right now.
So Manning has signed a reduced deal.
I was hoping he would.

Thought he'd stick about a bit longer.
Pats are not taking up their option for Revis, confident of re-negotiating a long term deal instead.
