The principle is still the same only the compensation goes up.
We would have to pay JA more AND teams would have to offer more in higher round picks-it's a double-edged sword that effects both current team and the propositional team.
In other words, JA's price tag goes up for us with the franchise tag compared to the transition tag. That's less wiggle room for free agents, because he woud count against the cap at a ONE year deal with huge money.
That's exactly why I'm stressing Carl should get off his duff and get this done PRIOR to the offseason.
