I don’t really know how the franchise tag thing works. But he seems to not be very happy about it. I hope it doesn’t affect his play. But it also must be hard to be WR2 when he’d probably be WR1 on most teams
Teams are allowed to franchise tag one player per year. They must pay them a guaranteed contract equivalent to 120% of their previous year salary and absorb the entire cap hit in that year. I believe they can do it for two years.
