Da Franchise

I keep seeing all these tweets from the local beat writers and every last one of them fails to mention the franchise tag is only about $2.5M more than the 5th year option.
If he plays well, he’ll get the tag and they’ll work out a deal. Ya know, like they just did with Payne. If he plays poorly, they can choose to let him walk or maybe work out a reasonable “prove it” deal to keep him. If his performance falls in the middle and there are still questions, well, there’s a lot of ways it can go.
This was the right move and the local media is driving me absolutely insane not talking about the tag more.
