Bills place non-exclusive franchise tag on Cordy Glenn

[NoSaint]

 

I believe other teams can negotiate and we have chance to match. If we do not match we get 2 1st round picks. Not 100% on this though.

Which makes it the obvious tag for anyone but a HOF qb. Lower pay and huge compensation so low risk

[CSBill]

Good, now take your time and get a longterm deal in place

Official Word.

 

Bills franchise OT Cordy Glenn

The Bills made use of their franchise tag just hours before the league deadline, designating OT Cordy Glenn their franchise player for 2016.

Had to be done. Lots of $$$ however. I think you can tag two years in a row , is this correct

yes, the # goes up the second year

You can theoretically tag a player indefinitely, but it quickly becomes unrealistic. A player gets either the average of the top players at his position or a 20% raise over their previous season's pay, whichever is GREATER.

By out of thin air, you mean common sense? An NFL player playing a contact sport with 1 kidney-- methinks that the team is going to hedge their risk on that.

 

Can a team say insure through Loyd's his contract for a scenario like that? I agree on hedging risk on a possible horrible situation.

The salary of a player on an exclusive tag is determined by the average of the top five cap hits at the player's position - or 120% of the previous year's salary (whichever is more). Additionally, an exclusive franchise tag restricts players from negotiating with other teams. Only the team that applied the tag can negotiate with the player. When the player signs the tag, his franchise tag salary becomes fully guaranteed. However, Article 10, Section 2 of the CBA indicates that if a player fails to maintain peak physical condition, his tag salary can be terminated. Ultimately, the exclusive franchise tag is a powerful bargaining tool given to teams in negotiations. Players want certainty in a long-term contract and there is always that potential for a career ending injury.

 

The salary of a player on a non-exclusive tag is determined by the average of the top five salaries (different than cap hits) at the player's position - or 120% of the previous year's salary (whichever is more). This salary is also fully guaranteed upon signing. However, the rules are slightly different for the non-exclusive tag. With a non-exclusive tag, players are given the ability to negotiate with other teams. The original team can match any offer, but if they don't and the player signs to another team - the original team is entitled to 2 first round picks as compensation from the new team the player signed with. The difference in franchise tags is essentially the restriction on access to free agency.

 

So it's strictly about negotiating rights and there's no different price. Why would a team ever bother with the non-exclusive version? I suppose it leaves them open for a shot at compensation, but it's rare the another team would even flirt with that chance.

The tagging team and the signing team can come to agreement on lower compensation as well.

No you can only tag a player twice in succession. If a player signs a contract and that expires he can be tagged again if contract does not have a "no tag" clause.

I don't think that's correct. Where are you seeing that rule? This is all I found that addresses repeated tags of the same player. It says it is allowable and gives a 3 year running example:
