Franchise tags & its effects on the FA market?

[sleek]

With alot of the big name players getting tagged and alot of teams having decent money to spend do you think teams will be forced to overpay for lesser known guys? Do you think there will be more competiton between teams with a smaller pool? I was thinking it could cause some teams to swipe franchised players from teams because the extra cash(granted having to sacrifice draft picks usually cools that idea).Do you think we might end up paying more for guys we like such as Flozell or whoever else we are after? I could see guys like Max Starks,Bryant Johnson, Hackett, G. or E. Wilson 's prices all going through the roof. Thoughts?

Nothing unusual going on, this happens every year.

True. I was just wondering people's thoughts on how things will shake out and with us being in the rebuild that extra money might not go as far.

It'll be just like last year where second rate FA Guards and TE's got killer contracts just because teams had money to spare and the need to upgrade the 3rd rate players they had.
