I'm sure that was part of it.
But it doesn't mean you don't put the tag on him anyway and try to leverage a trade out of it. He doesn't have to play on the thing; you can trade his rights and in the process give him and his agent authority to discuss the matter with other teams.
You can do that whole thing pretty cordially.
Just doesn't seem like it's worthwhile for him to pull a Derek Carr "Nah, I'm not gonna do any of that. If you won't pay me X, you're gonna have to cut me because I'm not discussing contracts as part of a franchise tag/trade and I'm not playing on the tag here..."
Seems unnecessarily combative.
