Franchise tag for a QB is in the $40 million range so if you're gonna try to retain him, that's where it's gonna start.
If you could get Darnold done at something like 5/$200 with maybe half of that guaranteed, you're taking a risk, but one with some pretty massive upside baked in given how crazy the QB market is.
