For instance if we go Nickle this year with Dax, Bates, and Bell on the field and Bell works more as a LB. If we decide to franchise him; he would claim LB and try to get a salary difference of about $6MIL

There have been TE's who have challenged it and it is becoming an issue with edge rushers who technically are OLB vs the DE tag. I think that whole thing will need to be addressed in the near future for sure.
