@firstdowndawgs: Taking the franchise tag is basically saying: “I’m better than the top 5 guys at my position.” That’s a big bet on yourself. Yeah, it’s guaranteed money… But you’re turning down long-term security. Even kickers are getting $13M deals now. So if you take $12M on a tag, you better believe you can beat the market next year. Confidence level has to be different. #NFLFreeAgency #FranchiseTag #NFLContracts #SportsBusiness #NFLTalk
