Today is the first day to apply franchise and transition tags. Wanna make a prediction? Who, if anyone, gets tagged buy the Phins?
Tagging Day
- Thread starter BahamaFinFan78
- Start date
The only one that we should even consider would be Ogbah imo.

We only have two players who have a remote possibility of being tagged, Ogbah and Gesicki.
DE is $20+ million for the franchise tag and $16+ million for the transition tag. I think we can eliminate Ogbah being tagged as the price is just too high.
TE is ~$11 million for the franchise tag and ~$9 million for the transition tag. Gesicki will fight that based on how much he lined up outside as a WR and demand that he be paid accordingly.
I could see us throwing the TE tag on Gesicki, and him fighting to be a WR and ultimately the two sides settling in-between. Though, I personally have moved to the position that we should just let him hit FA as I do not see him living up to any contract he receives in free agency where at the end of the day he is a glorified slot receiver.

Doesn’t the transition tag give us some kind of compensation if Gesicki would sign elsewhere? Or does it just give us the right to match the offer
Many F/A's don't live up to the big paydays they recieve during F/A.
What makes you think this year will be any different. Especially in comparing them to Miami's F/A?

Hmmm, if Gesicki can get tagged as a TE great. Transition tag I mean.
Ogbah, just resign him.
So..... we now have 13 days to wait and see if Devante Adam's and Orlando Brown Jr will be coming to Miami.
Hopefully KC tags Mathieu
Those turkeys better not wat till the 8th to tag them lol.

Rams just won a Super Bowl with a lot of players they traded for. Technically not free agents but relatively the same.
As did TB last year. At least it was good to see New England’s FA romp not work.
Transition tag: The transition tag is a one-year tender offer for the average of the top 10 salaries at the position -- as opposed to the top five for the franchise tag. It guarantees the original club the right of first refusal to match any offer the player might receive from another club. The tagging team is awarded no compensation if it chooses not to match a deal.

I think most teams know whether they plan to tag a FA by now. The only hold up might be trying to sign them to a long term deal and if that doesn't happen by the deadline, then they might just tag them then.
prob be march til we see anything, they are going to do their best to negotiate before tagging
So if you expect to lose the player, best route is let ‘em go and get comps.
You know, it bothers me that teams like NO and GB have the ability to franchise tag.
Take GB, I know soUr grapes because I want Adam's lol.
They are negative 51 million in cap space right now.
They should not be allowed to tag A player at 18 million + while that far in the negative.
Look at NO. Let's hypothetically say they tagged Armstead. That means they now need to FREE UP 90 million in space.
If a team can't sign a player when they don't have the cap space, they shouldn't be allowed to tag a player either.
The transition tag I get. They can refuse to match
Not sure, tried doing a semi quick google search. I would think you would still get comp for the following year since you still lost the player. Franchise tagging and losing the player, i wouldnt expect you to
