NFLPA says teams can take their Franchise Tags and stick it
NFL PLAYERS ASSOCIATION SENDS LETTER TO AGENTS REGARDING FRANCHISE TAG

As referenced at the NFL Players Association’s annual press conference Feb. 3, 2011, the NFLPA sent a letter to all agents regarding franchise tags. The letter in full stated:
We have received reports that the NFL is advising clubs that they can place a franchise tag on players whose contracts will expire at the end of the 2010 league year.
The current CBA provides that “each club shall be permitted to designate one of its players who would otherwise be an Unrestricted Free Agent [or Restricted Free Agent] as a Franchise Player each season during the term of this Agreement.” The 2011 season is not a “season during the term of this Agreement” so the NFL has no valid basis for claiming the right to franchise players in 2011.
If you have had any discussions with clubs about their intent to use the Franchise designation for the 2011 season please contact the NFLPA to discuss this matter. Meanwhile, we will make sure that the rights of any players improperly designated will be protected.

Do we get another trophy, participation award (how??), or just 10/11 added to the current banner? Will the NFLPA negotiate that too?

The franchise tag needs to be changed up a bit anyway. In theory you can franchise someone different every single year.

If this is part of negotiations it'll turn into a tag you can't use as much, which in the end will be a great thing. Teams shouldn't be using 'franchise' tags on anyone but 'franchise' players.

what difference does it make what player they use it on?

The player gets a high contract.

Hell, the franchise tag took kicker's contracts to an all-time high.

Long term security vs. short term cash.


If you are franchised and get injured at the back end of your career, you just got ****ed out of a lot of money.

Franchise tag also limits a good player's options.

if the player gets hurt with any contract he's screwed, there are no guaranteed contracts ... only guaranteed money. The franchise tag is basically the signing bonus of a long term contract.

Franchise tag helps control the moment of the best players. As a fan of the NFL you should be saying "woo hoo"

Would you rather get 30 million guaranteed plus 5 million a year for 4 years or 17 million guaranteed for 1 year?


It's about control and insurance for the player.

The franchise tag system helps more players than it hurts.
