That is why it was very strange the Ravens gave the 2nd best franchise tag, option one would have paid him 44 million versus 33 million, but they would have been guaranteed his rights for 2023 season.
If they would have given the other tag, then they wouldn't be able to let other teams engage him in contract talks.
The whole reason they did it that way is because they haven't been able to get even close to what he wants for a contract - so they will let another team deal with it.
