Jackass Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 just read that franchise tag is now average of past 5 seasons of top 5 at each position. This was slipped into the CBA. Can't remember the exact #'s but Brees and Forte for example get about 1.5 million less than they would have under the old deal (which just used current year data). This gives owners a lot more leverage in negotiating new contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Not sure if this "slipped" into the CBA. I thought this was actually one of the sticking points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read this in ESPN magazine. i think i'm paraphrasing how they worded it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I feel safe saying that nothing got "slipped" into the CBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
