Free Agency 2023

The two week franchise tag window opened today, closes on March 7th.

Reports are that the 49ers are highly unlikely to use it on anyone, but they did tag Robbie Gould the last time his contract was ending. He agreed to a 4 year $19 million dollar contract well before the season started though. The tag contract for a kicker this year would be $5.4 million per year, largely due to Justin Tucker's 6 million per year.

you can understand why some receiving TE's want to be designated a WR. Massive difference in the Tag money

Daniel Jones wants 45 million a year which should be as likely as me bagging a supermodel but seems like it may actually happen. 

Changed his agent so they reckon that number has been leaked by his old agent.

Can someone explain what a 'Franchise Tag Value' is please? Is this the most you can pay a player for his position?

For instance I see Derrick Henry gets this;

Derrick Henry signed a 4 year, $50,000,000 contract with the Tennessee Titans, including a $12,000,000 signing bonus, $25,500,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $12,500,000. In 2023, Henry will earn a base salary of $10,500,000, while carrying a cap hit of $16,367,647 and a dead cap value of $9,000,000.

What's a cap hit and a dead cap value?

Does the current best RB in the NFL get paid considerably less than a Cornerback?

"Franchise Tag" came about after the advent of Free Agency. It was a kickback to the owners so that teams could use it once per season on a player who is a pending Free Agent and retain his rights. The player is compensated by receiving a fully guaranteed salary that is the average of the top 5 paid players at the same position, which is the 'Franchise Tag Value' of the position. The tag lasts one season, can only be applied to the same player a maximum of two seasons running, and guarantees specific compensation should another team wish to sign the player away. There are a few different types of 'tag', but they all amount to much the same thing, i.e. current team retains the rights to the player, the player is guaranteed a non-negotiable salary, and the specific type of tag sets the potential trade compensation and provides 'right to match' etc.

Generally yes, RB's are not as well paid as CB's because a top CB is seen as more of a difference maker than a top RB. 

Cap is too complicated to explain here, but the jist of it is that if you give players contracts that guarantee them money, and you then cut that player in the middle of the guaranteed money period, the team still stays on the hook for the salary v's their overall cap number. "Dead Cap Value" is the hit to the team salary cap should they release that player, "Cap Hit" is what the player counts against the team salary cap assuming/while he is still on the active roster.
