Question on Franchise player? (1 Viewer)

[Jbl1967]

I have a question for any league members that use the franchise tag in their leagues.

In our league, we use the average of the top five players or the winning bid plus 20% whichever is higher.

My question is; when you put a franchise tag on the player, do the owners that are bidding on that player start from $0.0 or do you start from the average of the top five at their position?

Example: LTs franchise price is $27.00, does the bidding start at $27.00 or from $0.00?

Thanks and would love to hear from people ASAP.

Thank you.

The top 5 average salaries is your baseline. The fact that the player is franchised and the original team is willing to pay him that for one year starts the bidding there.
