What is the tag on a TE? 5.5 mil a year or more?

Whatever the avg salary is for the top paid tes

The franchise amount for TE's is 5.4 million - down from last year's 7.3 mil. The new CBA lowered tag amounts. They are now computed using a % of overall cap figure for the last 5 seasons (for that position) as opposed to an average of individual salaries.

TE was the lowest position to tag. Landry would have cost 6.3 mil this season (2nd lowest) so I think this was a good move now even more than before.

i like this a lot. i hope he proves/redeems himself this season and can sign a long term deal afterwards

I have a question. Didn't we still have time to sign him before using the FT or was there a deadline. I thought it just had to be used before teams were free to sign free agents.

Good question. I am curious as to why free agency doesn't start right after the franchise tag deadline.

No, the deadline to use the tag was yesterday at 4 pm. As Ruh said, I don't understand why they have that waiting period between the tag deadline and FA, but again I have extremely limited knowledge on those matters so I don't have much of an opinion on the subject.

did we want to sign him anyways? i thought the plan was to give him one year of probation with the tag to see if he acts right

to tag FD is not alot, one year tag make sure he's got his SH*T together then sign him to a $$$ contract.
