Also that's cheap compared to a long term deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, the tag came right under $12M so you have to figure it'll be around there as well. That's elite S money. Its better than giving a guy a multi-year deal after only seeing him in your system for 8 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanedorf Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I'm not understanding your assertion here An "exclusive" franchise player must be offered a one-year contract for an amount no less than the average of the top five salaries at the player's position as of a date in April of the current year in which the tag will apply, or 120 percent of the player's previous year's salary, whichever is greater. Here's the top 5 salaries that would be used to compute that number, including Eric Berry's deal https://overthecap.com/position/safety If you want to pay HaHa Top 5 Safety money, knock yerself out. But given the large number of Safeties languishing on the open market this season, it seems you are confusing the idea that Safeties are cheap with the idea that the Franchise Tag for safeties is cheap. It isn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather not use the tag unless absolutely necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only that aren't are Shawn Lauvao (who needs to be replaced) and Preston Smith (who needs to be replaced). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you're going to franchise tag him, don't do the exclusive. If he walks, he walks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
