Spotrac now charges a fee for that information.
Fwiw, the franchise tag amount for safties was 10.8 million in 2016. Eric Berry got tagged the same year Willams inked a 4 year 20 million dollar deal. The next year, 2017, Berry signed for 6 years 78 million dollars.
---Harrison Smith signed a 5 year 51 million dollar deal in 2016.
---Malcolm Jenkins signed a 4 year 36 million dollar deal in 2016.
---Devin Mccourty signed a 5 year 47 million dollar deal in 2016.
---Earl Thomas signed for 4 years 40 million all the way back in 2014.
---Kam Chancellor, Thomas' teammate, signed for 3 years 36 million the following year in 2015.
---Eric Weddle signed a 5 year 40 million dollar deal all the way back in 2011.
I'm sorry, 4 years 20 million is not a "big contract" for a safety as you claimed.
