Franchise / Transition Tag News

[Mr. Scot]

Jets place non-exclusive franchise tag on DE Muhammad Wilkerson.

Dolphins place transition tag on DE Olivier Vernon.

More to come. Teams have till 4pm today to tag players.

Good idea on this one, thanks.

Alshon Jeffrey, Bears, and Justin Tucker, Ravens, have also been officially franchise tagged(meaning the paperwork has been filed)

[Bartin]

Likely tags today are Von Miller(exclusive franchise), Josh Norman(non-exclusive franchise) and Kirk Cousins(transition or non-exclusive franchise).

In the unlikely event that Von Miller gets a long term deal today then expect the Broncos to transition tag Brock Osweiler at minimum, outside chance of a non-exclusive franchise tag.

Von Miller franchise tag is officially filed. It is the exclusive tag.

 

One down. Brock will likely hit the open market.

Has any team gotten the non-exclusive franchise tag first round picks?

Transition tag is worth what?  2nd or 3rd round pick?

You only get the right to match. No compensation if the player leaves.

Here's a reminder of the different types of tags.  I found this article interesting and helpful several weeks ago...:

Explaining the tag

» The exclusive franchise tag is a one-year tender offer to a player for an amount no less than the average of the top five salaries at the player's position, or 120 percent of the player's previous salary, whichever is greater. The player's team has all negotiating rights to the player. » The non-exclusive franchise tag is a one-year tender offer to a player for an amount no less than the average of the top five salaries at the player's position, or 120 percent of the player's previous salary, whichever is greater. The player can negotiate with other teams. The player's current team has the right to match any offer, or receive two first-round picks as compensation. » The transition tag is a one-year tender offer to a player for an amount that is the average of the top 10 salaries at the position. It guarantees the original club the right of first refusal to match any offer the player may receive from another team. The transition tag can only be used if the franchise tag is not used by a team in that year. Transition tags can be rescinded, but teams that rescind a transition tag cannot use it again until next season.
