Look no further than last year. The Pats tagged Matt Cassel and subsequently traded him (and Mike Vrabel) to the Chiefs for an early second. Another memorable one was when the Chiefs tagged Jared Allen then traded him to the Vikings for a 1st and a 3rd. Less memorable? How about the Pack tagging DT Corey Williams then trading him to the Browns for a 2nd. The Pats also did it with Tebucky Jones awhile back - after tagging him, they sent him off for a 3rd, 7th, and a 4th the following year.
You just don't let Dunta walk for nuthin'. Expect the tag... I will. Or use McClain's insight.
