Does anyone know how they will calculate cooley's franchise tag #? Do they average the salaries of the top paid TE's or FB's or the limited amount of H-backs in the league and who gets to decide what position he actually plays? I think the skins would get a deal with they counted him as a FB or H-back.

franchise tagged TEs make 4.5mill this year.
franchises FBs and H-backs count as RBs and would make 7mill this year.
