A player doesn't have to sign his tender until the Tuesday FOLLOWING WEEK 10 to remain eligible to play, which would also allow him to accrue a season. A tagged player is not obligated to play just because a team has tagged him. What I stated is it is possible for Tee to not sign until the end of the preseason, which he can do and not forfeit any salary.

This is in the post you responded.


If a player is tagged, he’s left with almost no choice. His only recourse for a long-term deal that same season would be to sign one with the tagging team. Otherwise, every franchise tag recipient in the NFL either has to reach an extension by July 15 or be locked into the one-year deal, even if he ends up traded.
