I was totally unaware you could customize franchise tag numbers. I thought it was concrete average of top 5.
also, maybe the league needs to stop being such a goddamn dinosaur with this, edge, DE, and LB, can all be drastically different positions, the NFL is the only outlet who will still lump ray Lewis and Lawrence Taylor together in the same category and rankings for the “GOAT LB list”.
For instance on how outdated this bullshit is, a guy like cam heyward signing the tag as a DE could result in millions of dollars difference from one year to the next, not because of fluctuating contracts but because of premiere players changing positions but playing the same role. Khalil Mack is a LB one year and DE the next, if the rams with their 3-4 list Donald as a DE which has been his official position listing at some point, that also skews tf out of it, then you got 5techs getting franchised with edge rusher and DT contracts in the top 5 upsetting the average.
shit is so stupid.
