is Clumpalicious!!
Franchise tags are based on top cap hits are a players respective positions, not just salaries, that's why it would take approx. $18 million of cap space for the Colts to franchise Manning, which will not happen.

The franchise number for OT last year was 5.73 mil. If you are going to spend that much on a tackle, i hope it isn't todd wade.

what did that have to due (RFA rules, which i already know) and the other franchise tag option?

That's for offensive linemen not tackles.
Kevin Mawae is a center.

he's a RFA.. no need to franchise him.
there are 2 forms of franchise. one is called non exclusive franchise tag or something which means 2 first round picks.

if we tag Todd Wade with it...I know the money counts towards the cap...but if someone else signs him...am I wrong to say that we get two first round picks....and even if we tag him...can't we still then trade him?..just wondering...

Actually O-gun is a RFA....so you just need to tender him the high tender amount which is much less than a franchise player. It would be somewhere between 1.5-2mil....If someone signs him, you get 1st and 3rd round picks. If nobody signs him, you get him pretty cheap next year. If you don't extend him within the next year he will be a UFA and then you need to look at franchising him....the franchise number for a DE this past season was 7.17 mil....So i'd hope to either get rid of him...or extend him within the next year.

The tender would be less, Miami can still match any offer sheet signed, but wouldn't recieve compensation. Its practically impossible to put the franshise tag on on Wade. Whatever his tender off is, which is about 6 million bucks, is treated as a year contract all of which counts against the cap, Miami has to be under the cap by that 6 million to even tag him, which is highly unlikely. The transition tag might still ward off potential suitors, but not in the way the fran. tag would.
Mannings tender is approx. 18 because he actually made more money in 2003, then what the top 5 average for QB's would make in 2004. Thus his 1 year tender would be 120% more then what he made in 2003.

The transition tender is that high this year? wow I figured for a number closer to 4 million. Still a viable option, because if we ended up signing Todd long term we wouldn't have to worry about losing the franshise tag.
Something that might need to be reserved for Chris Chambers.
