If it were up to me I think I'd keep the franchise tag but make it so that you could only use it again if the guy you used it on is no longer on your team. So if we tagged Hali for instance, until he's no longer a Chief we would be unable to franchise tag anyone else.
With a system like that 2nd or 3rd tier players, or say backup QB's who weren't good enough to play in college, would no longer be the kind of player you would want to tag.
