Hello GM's,
I wanted to ask some opinions on a proposal regarding franchise tags.
Currently the franchise tags will be calculated after the season ends when the league shuts down.
I wanted to propose something a little different and get some opinions.
I propose that we figure out franchise tags right before the season starts, EX: we figure out 2020 franchise prices before week 1 of this season. The benefit of this is that during the season teams will know the cost of franchising the players on expiring contracts. This helps GM's be a little more educated when negotiating a trade. The other nice thing about this is it will be more accurate to the leagues market value. The franchise tag prices will only include actual free agent contracts during our prime free agent signing. I think the franchise tag gets inflated by in season high priced 1 year contracts.
I am not changing the period to offer a franchise tag, I am simply proposing that we get prices set earlier to better inform our gm's for the upcoming offseason.
So, I know it is a little unorthodox but I feel it will present a more accurate franchise tag price and also keep GM's more educated on future contract options.
Let's hear your thoughts......
