Former Chargers OLB Antwan Barnes announces via twitter that he's signing with the Jets

Somebdy fill me in here.

Does this mean signing him long-term is not an option?

Does that mean that we cannot revoke the franchise tag at any point, now?

They have like 4 months to work out a long term deal. Franchise tag is dead once signed

Does he have to sign to be traded? I forget how that works.

Yes.

Seems odd that he's signed his tender now.

Why?

Long just got his deal done, he was waiting on that.

Not really.

Saints announce three-year deal for tight end Ben Watson

Just seems like he's got alot of time before it's a must do.

The Chiefs could rescind the offer at any time up til he signed it. It makes sense that he waited to see what Long would get before locking up the guarantee.
