They don't have to offer free agency to great running backs when they can legally slow-play them with the franchise tag. My point is to look at all the guys getting the franchise tag at running back. They only put that on players they value and choose not to lose.


Change the value system for franchise tags for RBs so they automatically become Top 3 in salary for that position or do away with it entirely.

Side note: The players and others in the NFLPA need to make sure that DeMaurice Smith is nowhere near the negotiating table for the next CBA, he has fricked over so many players.

IMO, this is the real reason the emails were leaked. Owners wanted to drum up sympathy for De Smith because they work him over at the negotiating table, and they knew that the media would kill the NFLPA if they replaced a black man in 2021. Gruden was just collateral damage.
