Averaging the Top 5 salaries for a Franchise Tag sounded reasonable for Jessie Bates.

Chase could set the receiver Market with a Long Term Deal; so averaging the Top 5 salaries for a Franchise Tag for Chase 

may seem more unfair to Chase.  

Why do bold and underline random words and phrases? lol

Look, I understand he may not like the tag, but if a deal can't get done, it's better to tag than risk losing the player if the player is actually a Top 5 player at the position.
You can always tag then work on the long-term deal, which happens a lot.
