Franchise tags should be abolished, teams should not be able to force a player to play for them after their contract expires

Their contract binds them to the league rules so that element of the contract does not expire until the franchise tender deadline has passed.

I don’t think I’ve ever agreed with Drac before but I despise franchise tags as well

Sure, punish me by paying me $40m to QB in Seattle another season.

Not like it is Washington where the QBs keep getting their legs broken.

Some of the smarter teams in the league hardly ever even use it any more.

Look at all the Steelers have burnt holding onto that card with Bell. Trades are hard to pull off, very small window to negotiate, ends up creating a toxic situation all around you’re better off keeping the cap space and getting the 3rd round comp pick and replacing the position

A little different with QBs but QBs have much more leverage given their franchise tag number are insane and it’s so easy for them to stay healthy these days and the teams are willing to pay them top dollar with guaranteed money that gets hard to pass up

Funny that players feel the same way yet the union didnt push for that.
