Not saying losing all three is a good thing, but none of them are worth the franchise tag.

Whit and Zeitler would cost $14.8m for one of them.
Kirkpatrick would cost $15.1m.

Whit might be the only one close enough to being good enough to be worth that kind of money, but everything I am seeing on Whit looks like 2yr/$20m, so $14.8m for one year seems rather silly.
