I think it is the set compensation should another team sign a non-exclusive tagged player. If a team wanted to sign a franchise player and negotiate the draft compensation I feel like it would be a tag and trade situation. For example if Tee signs his franchise tender the Bengals could then trade him to any team for whatever draft picks or player(s) both teams agreed upon.
oh i thought they had to sign before any deal could happen. i thought the other version of the tag was where the picks came in (ill admit not knowing what version we applied to tee)
- Exclusive: The team has the sole right to negotiate with the player, and the salary is higher.
- Non-Exclusive: The player can negotiate with other teams, but the original team has the right to match any offer or receive two first-round draft picks as compensation if the player signs with another team.
But it is a very steep price i doubt anyone would pay (or if they were worth it allow that player to hit the market to begin with) as 2 1st are even more valuable now with the 5th year option.
