Cause 4 years with guaranteed money is better then 1 year....
Other teams do this.. tag guy to keep him off the market and then extend him but not here...
Your like Fred ready to fall down and defend this shit no matter how obviously bad it is.
"A franchise tag still leaves room for negotiation on a long-term contract. The NFL's deadline in 2021 for teams and tagged players to agree upon and sign a multi-year extension remains July 15. Over the past six years, about half of the franchise tagged players have received such deals."
Half the players signed an extension that meant they took less year one then the tag number.
Do the math. 1 year with $18 mil guaranteed and a shot at FA the following year, 3 years with $30 mil guaranteed, or 4 years with $32 mil guaranteed.
You also realize that just because they signed long term deals, it doesn't necessarily mean those deals were for a lower APY than the FT, right? Dak's FT # was $37 mil and his extension was for $40 mil/year as an example.
