No. That's just getting too complicated and would be a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whicker Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I don't know about this franchise tag thing. I feel like it could be abused for QBs similarly to how people think the Packers should handle Rodgers. Matt Ryan's 3 up this coming year will be $26500. The current franchise tag for QBs according to the proposal would be $20,779. A 20% increase on that would be $4156 for a total of $24,935. That's two years of tags you get at less than a 3up price. This will be even worse when a player like Rodgers signs his new deal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like a franchise tag should be an option as a 3up but ehh it's not necessary considering the 3up covers IRL franchised players for 1 year deals.

MD4L Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Make the franchise tag 3 UP 100% of a NFL contract. We do a similar thing with 5th year options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it'd necessarily be a problem for Ryan though, or basically any non top 3 QB. Average of top 5 would make him the 2nd, 3rd, 4th highest paid QB in the BDL. Yes it is less than his IRL salary, but comparatively vs. other BDL players he's not underpaid & thus there's no big advantage. We could go with higher of IRL salary or average of BDL top 5 I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PR Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 BDL - Owners Meeting Proposal: Increase # of years on mid and late round draft picks. Reason: You are seeing 4 year contracts for 5th round draft picks IRL. Our 7th rounders IRL 4th round picks. Should be similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was opposed to making BDL 4th rounders 4 year deals a few years ago for the same reasons and look where we are today. Also it would lock in 16 more players for another year that we may want to let go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFLukic Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 It would only be a problem with 5th rounders right? 6th rounders are sub 500 so they can be cut at any time after year 1. Other thing is, RFA acts as a proxy 4th year anyway. If a guy's worth keeping, RFA tagging him is probably a discount on what he'd get anyway and you prob hit on the pick so it's not like we're in a bad position if we have to tag someone instead of 500 for the 4th year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
