The Franchise Tag:
Gladiator slams the Franchise Tag on Calais Campbell, ARI. The bidding starts at $32,64
Gran Torino slams the Franchise Tag on Stefon Diggs, MIN. The bidding starts at $96,54
If you want to bid on one of those players, put your bid in this thread. The deadline for bidding will be March 28th at 11:59 PM ET (bylaws say March 21st - but we've extended it a week due to MFL downtime).
8) If any bids take place, the owner of the franchised player must match the winning bid or decline to match the offer by April 4h at 11:59 PM ET (bylaws say March 28st - but we've extended it a week due to MFL downtime).
From the bylaws:
a) Franchise Tags:
1) During the off-season an owner may choose to retain 1 current season free agent by using a franchise tag.
2) The commissioner must be notified by team owners of all recipients of the Franchise Tag by March 1. This should be done through a new message board post, so it is visible to all other owners.
3) In order to qualify for the franchise tag, the player must be on the owner's roster during the season just completed and the player's contract will expire on March 1.
4) To be eligible to bid on a franchise tagged player, you must own a current or future 1st round draft selection.
5) If a team chooses to do so, the franchise player will then be bid on by eligible teams.
6) The bidding will start at the average of last seasons top tier of highest paid players at the franchise tag player's position. The tiers are defined as follows:
Top 10: QB, TE, DT, PK, PN
Top 15: RB, DE, CB, S
Top 20: WR, LB
7) Bidding will be done via a league message board post and all teams will have until 11:59 PM ET March 21st to reply to this post and put the salary they are willing to offer.
8) If any bids take place, the owner of the franchised player must match the winning bid or decline to match the offer by March 28th at 11:59 PM ET.
9) Team owners declining to match the offer will accept the compensation of (1) one 1st round draft pick for the franchise tagged player. If the team owns multiple 1st round picks, the lowest pick will be paid as compensation.
10) The team receiving the compensation may choose whether to accept the draft pick immediately or defer, meaning they will receive the following seasons 1st round draft pick. If choosing to defer to next season, and the team owns multiple 1st round picks, the highest pick will be paid as compensation.
11) The team receiving the franchised player automatically signs the player to a 3 year contract at the terms listed below.
12) Year 1: When the team franchises a player, the team will pay the average of the prior year's salary for the prior-seasons top tier of highest paid players at the franchise tag player's position, or the winning bid price whichever is higher. Years 2 & 3: The usual 10% inflation as per league rules.
