I actually would hope that franchise tags are eliminated from the next agreement.
If you want to retain a player, then get an extension worked out before his contract expires.

I don't know but I would think the significance of the Franchise Tag would be between the owners. If they honor it (for the time being) then they won't be going after each other players, no holes barred, until this thing is worked out. What the players think about doesn't matter as long as the owners keep playing by the old rules.
