I'm able to gather this is a bad idea because it may affect their confidence, and we should trust our scouting. I look forward to us limiting our lottery ticket (last decade, around 36% of first rounders were successful) and cling to the belief that our scouts should 100% be able to identify the best pick, rather than use our picks to better our odds of striking gold.

Kiwibrown Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 One of my concerns is that going into next off season we will have 3 legit franchise tag options. 1. Tyrod if he plays very well. 2. JG if he plays equal to his talent. 3. Though least valuable of the lot, Duke's tag number would be the lowest and he is a genuinely great football player. I hope we extent Duke. Another option is to extend JG on short term contract 2 years 24 million which bumps his pay this year and we get a reasonable feal for 2019. By then we will know if we want Landry or JG to stick around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise id agree. I think we would of been better off using the tag more. Pryor is one example and on Mack instead of the transition tag.

That changes it somewhat if that’s the case as I thought the tag for backs was around 12m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is meant to be the average of the top 5 at the position. My own calc got it to 8 million. (7.1 being the average x805 which was an error in my calc).

Rather than the average of the top 5. The ERFT is 125% of you last year or the average of the top 5 players at the position. Dukes won't be 125% it will be the average of the top 5. Bell 14 freeman 8.25 shady 8 mcKinnon 7.5 Leo F 6.7 the average is 8.89 x 1 million. ESPN got it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke2056 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 So we are worried about which player we would franchise?? Seems like a weird new GOOD problem. It means guys did well this year. However, seems incredibly unlikely. We should be able to extend Duke pretty easily (unless he is a total bonehead like Leveon Bell is). I see almost no way we would need to franchise Taylor. For one, he likely would not be valuable enough to even have to franchise him. Two, we probably wont even care if we have him past this season (although I would like to extend him an extra year for like 15 million right now if he would take it, which he probably would). Gordon? Wouldnt need to franchise him cause NOBODY is gonna sign him to a big deal, and we could easily outbid people to keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
